Unfortunately, society, especially American society, prefers nicknames as a substitute norm over addressing anyone by their given name. Hopefully, he is also prepared to hear or read others casually identifying him by variations of his name like 'Sammy', etc.

Of course. He'll be called whatever people want to call him. The better player he is, the more respect he'll get. Soft Taco comes to mind. :)

(Credit goes to @Jarntt for mentioning this in another thread this past Friday.)

There you go. "Sam" Williams wants everyone to call him by his original first name. "De" is reserved for his family.

:starspin:

Hope everyone understands and is good with that.

:popcorn:

Hope after his first season,
The other teams will call him Mr. Williams.
