How people will actually call you 别人会怎么叫你

A Chinese name is almost never used in full. In daily life it gets a prefix, a suffix, or is cut to the given name alone — and which one you get tells you how close the person thinks they are to you.

可儿Full name. Documents, a first introduction, anyone who is not yet a friend.

小可 / 老可Surname with a size prefix — 小 (little) for someone younger or junior, 老 (old) for a colleague who is senior. This is how a Chinese office usually separates two people with the same surname.

可哥 / 可姐Surname + ‘brother’/‘sister’. Warm without being intimate — a shopkeeper, a neighbour, or a colleague a few years older than you.

儿Given name on its own. Family and close friends. An elder using just this is affectionate, not curt.

Patterns, not rules: what you are called depends on your age, the relationship, and the region. In the south you will also hear 阿 + given name between friends.
