Pappi is okay, too.

[johnsmithn7]

What are the implications of such address?

[butterflybuldge]

A nickname is a special title given to a person that confers either ease of address, affection, or the person's preferred alternate title. Sometimes nicknames are asked to be used, while others are given.

[johnsmithn7]

You prefer Pappi.

[butterflybuldge]

No, I prefer my name - Papillon. Except you probably don't know how to say it with affection.

[johnsmithn7]

We are capable of verbal communication. We do not feel affection.
