[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's almost certain that at some point someone will use that nickname. (Or maybe your own child might choose to use that nickname.) How much would that bother you?[/quote] This. My kid has a name that has a nickname I don't love. We never use that nickname. No one in her extended family uses that nickname. She doesn't introduce herself using that nickname. Nonetheless, some teachers and friends have called her by that nickname. At this point, she's old enough to decide whether she likes it or not, and to tell people she would prefer to be called by her full name or a different nickname. So, yes, it's something we were aware of when we chose the name, and we decided to use the name anyway. What other people call her isn't something I care that much about, and certainly not something I can control once she's in school, anyway. [/quote]
