About my name and its confusion (actually this is confusing for some of my friends):

Many people know me as Nils Gunnar Wahlgren, the form of my name I started to use during my

university studies.

For my family, the family I grew up with, and my cousins, my parents friends, I was always just Nils

For my foreign friends, I was always Nils

For my friends in school, close friends at the university, close friends also now and for my present family, I am Nisse

Only my late father called me Nille

So which form to use?

Optional is Nils. Nils Gunnar is OK if you feel comfortable with it. Use Nils or Nisse if you really feel like a close friend.

Please don't say Nille...

Hm, sorry for the confusion. I think this reflects my elusive character.
