Hilari,
I'm not getting into the depths of this, but shortening his name to a birds name is pissing me off. Word of advice, d
on't change someones name to a nickname (that they don't use elsewhere) when you want something as there is any chance it will piss them off. I never thought it that way. By saying hilari I never wanted to disrespect him. I was calling it as a friendly manner. May be it's the cultural difference. I have friend name shahidul I call him shaz it's like that. By the way I got your point. Thank you.
