I simply couldn't be bothered correcting people who called me Richard or Ricky despite my being registered and christened Richie. My friends had always got around the problem by calling me by my surname, Phillips, which got shortened to Phil.
So, to avoid any embarrassment, tedious explanation, etc, and largely bereft of any imagination on my part to come up with anything cryptic or vaguely clever, it's "just phil" and I like it that way.
