"She called herself"

No sé cómo decir eso, por ejemplo.


Her name was Joselyn, but she called herself Josi.

Su nombre era Joselyn, pero ella se llamaba Josi?

Ella se llamaba Joselyn, pero llamaba Josi a su misma?

No sé cómo hacer el "?" raro en el principio de los sentidos...

Otra opción:

... pero prefería que la llamaran Josi.

Y un chistecito:

- Oye, ¿cómo te llamas?
- Yo no me llamo... me llaman.

Sí, es difícil hacerlo sin "testo", o sin testa...
