    My Name is Dr. Bonilla-Warford, but you can call me “Dr. Nate.”

    As I have explained in this post, I have an extremely long, poly-ethnic last name. During my residency, optometry students started calling me “Dr. B”, because there were many doctors to refer to and Dr. Bonilla-Warford just takes too much time to say.

    I have kept up “Dr. B.” out of convenience. But have noticed something: Nobody really spontaneously calls me “Dr. B.” any more. They will if I ask them to, but they don’t do it on their own. Instead,  they call me “Dr. Nate.” In fact,  I now have more people that call me “Dr. Nate” than “Dr. B.”

    So I am formally announcing that my new nickname is “Dr. Nate.” Accordingly, I’ll be changing the Ask B. category to “Ask Dr. Nate.”

    I hope every is sufficiently confused now. :)

    See Well!!

    -Dr. Nate

    • And just when I'd gotten good at typing out Dr. Bonilla-Warford, too. But as someone who always goes as Ann Z, rather than Ann making people try to pronounce or spell my long polish lastname, I can understand.

      Ann, if anyone can, you can relate. Just think how many additional keystrokes you can save now! :)

      Ya know, Dr. Nate flows rather nicely... so Dr. Nate it is! I actually think it sounds pretty hip, like how you're all up on SM and all. Thanks for the clarification. LOL!

      Thanks, Ros. And thanks for all your support!
