re: People that ask you to start calling them by a different name later in life

I use to know a guy that his first and middle names were Randolph Scott. Always knew him as Scotty.
Around 40, he started asking people to be called Randy, instead of Scotty.
I thought that was a weird thing for a grown man to care about, but he was about to inherit a few million dollars.
That may have had something to do with it.
