[quote=Anonymous]Overthinking, especially at this age. When my kid was little, we ended up calling him exclusively by a nickname totally unrelated to his name. For example, his name is John and we always called him Buster. He would refer to himself as Buster and point out "Buster" in photos, etc. He started daycare at age 2.5 and we let them know that we called him Buster at home, but his name is John. There was no "transition" at all. He's 5, and we still call him Buster most of the time, but in conversation, at school and with friends, he is John. There is no confusion. Certainly at one year old, it's fine to call your daughter Jackie and not worry about it. She will know who she is.[/quote]
