IME, It is normal (and probably rude, but in the oblivious kind of way) for people to call you by only the first half of your name. (An old teacher of mine actually changed hers to fuse them together so people would stop doing that. XD) Not a lot of people go by two first names, so they’re probably just not expecting it. HOWEVER, it is also normal (and totally polite!) for you to point out your preference. “By the way, I prefer to be called Anne Helene rather than just Anne. Thanks.”

knopperbrister:

It is completely normal in this weird country, though! Promise!

Also, @ everyone pls calm down, I just wanted like one person to say “yeah, that’s kind of weird, but probably not intentional, perfectly fine to point it out” or something like that, not start all this drama.

pls.

Edit: “One people” okay, AH, okay.

AH YES YOU LIVE IN A WEIRD PLACE. XD (just this morning i saw a video on facebook, supposedly about Norway, of someone sliding down a hill in their bathrobe, pants, and regular shoes, sipping their coffee.  i thought of you.) 

SO:  Yes, it’s kind of weird!  Probably not intentional!  You can point it out and that is fine!

😀 (yaaay scripting.)
