Yet another thing I don't get

Women who call their significant others by their given names rather than the names the fellas actually go by.

I used to be friends with a woman named Leigh (we nicknamed her The General Leigh, because she was soooooo damn bossy, but I digress). She met, started dating, and eventually married a fella named Jeff.

But she called him Jeffrey. All the time. To everybody. Even though he hated it.

I know a lot of women who do that, and I don't get it.

It would be like introducing Beau as Beauregard, even though he gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes, and said "It's just Beau" every time.

Can somebody enlighten me on this?

Is it an attempt to mother a grown-ass man?
