well first off, i wouldn't "sign" myself as this timmy.
do not write that name on anything, like a profile.
and when people call you timmy, say your real name- like in this scenario (corny haha):
"whats up timmy"
"its (beth). whats up"

or if thats too corny (sorry) just correct them with your girl name (:

hope i helped darling!

First, the people sound a TAD immature. If they're calling you a he-she because your nickname is Timmy, that's just really lame. I know a lot of girls with guy nicknames, and it's really no problem for them.

However, if this nick name is really bothering you, when someone calls you Timmy, just tell them your real name! Either that, or just ask them "But do you know my REAL name?" It'll sound like a joke, but they'll probably get it. You could also start it by asking your close friends not to call you that. I'm sure they won't mind, just be straightforward and blunt about it. Say that you don't want to be called that anymore, and when people see your friends calling you by your real name, they'll begin to do the same.

Also, I'm not sure that someone wouldn't dance with you because of your nickname. If that IS the case, it's very shallow of them, so don't let it get to you!

XOXO
KAT.

Next time someone calls you Timmy, say "No, my name is actually *insert your name here*. Not Timmy."

It'll start off slow but keep at it and soon Timmy will be erased forever.

cheers,
