Terrance
I have enough problems with my (hated) name of "Terence". (Hated because it dates me fairly precisely to the late 1950s as well as sounding ugly and having too many types of consonants to pronounce easily.)
It can be Terence/Terrence/Terrance/Terance and frequently become "Tel" which sounds so off hand and familiar that it almost feels like an insult for anyone to use if. Terry, the preferred choice, isn't actually much better. And sounds too much like one of the Likely Lads . The dim and annoying one.
AC because you've already got too much information in this post.
