I usually call A'lathei Lathei, but otherwise yes. If I use their canonical nicknames, it's because someone who knows that nickname is calling them that. (Little Ala Mhigo residents / Altheia's parents = Allie. Everyone else calls her Theia. Mydia is Midii to Altheia/A'lathei)
@shiren.bsky.social#WoLQotD this one is for the players: do you refer to your character by first name or otherwise?
i never refer to my wol on a first name basis because i named her after my own youtube channel and i think it's kinda cringe to say it out loud LMAO
