Dr: you might find you get super dizzy, sick, throw up, ect but eventually you'll start to feel better.

Dr: well hopefully.

@embrel​ since you are doing this on my post i feel entitled to barge in ^^

so Nika and Vera are two short names for Veronika (where Vera is also a plausible full name on its own). Short names get used:

- for a kid at all times except on formal documents or when someone is like, reading out loud from a formal document (and even then it’s 50/50, lots of people will automatically convert if they know what short name the person goes by - Veronika will have good odds of staying Veronika at that point though, as there are two reasonable options, but Tatiana will very likely be Tania and Stetlana Sveta). Young teenager counts as kid here, the transition to sometimes calling the person by full name instead starts at the point where they can visually be plausibly read as an adult;

- for a junior coworker/student, although this depends on the manners of the senior coworker/teacher. Some will go with a full name out of respect even for (relative) kids, usually not patronymic though;

- for a friend or family member at all times mandatorily. In olden times it was I think more appropriate to use full name + patronymic for older family members, but these days they’ll mostly be getting upset at that and demanding to be called uncle/grandma/whichever. And when you’re using a name and not a relation, it’ll be the short name, or you’re being Horribly Distant;

- for a coworker, possibly even senior one, or EVEN A TEACHER if they insist on being called by their short name. That gets weirder the more of a perceived seniority gap there is, but time and familiarity makes it less weird.

An exception to this is obviously when a person chooses to go by their full name at all times and corrects people when they shorten it. Note that in the aforementioned contexts its normal for people to shorten it by default, but if someone wants to be a Sergey to his close friends that’s how he rolls then. Also applies to parents who think their kid’s full name is too pretty to be shortened, etc. Though when parents think that the kid will end up going by their short name in all other situations most of the time anyway, cause like kindergarten and elementary school teachers 100% don’t ask and most kids won’t correct teachers.
