[quote=Anonymous]Reminds me of some friends of my mom who were very particular about their grandparent names. I can’t remember what the grandmother’s preferred nickname was, but the grandfather was supposed to be called Poppy. Despite the best efforts of everyone involved, the grandchild in question ended up mangling both names. Again, I’m not sure what the grandmother ended up being called, but Poppy was transformed to Potty. Colie is pretty great in comparison. FWIW, I come from a family of nicknames and while I went by a number of them growing up, as an adult I reverted to my legal name to simplify things. You can still call her Nicole or Nikki and the sister may adapt or forevermore use Colie as a special sister name unique to her. Eventually the child will make her preferences known and you never know how it will end up. [/quote]
