[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is it bad that I don't want to use the nickname my relative wants us to use for their baby? I just want to use the given name![/quote] It's not bad to want it. I absolutely have relatives who have named their kid ridiculous things, and I wish they'd done otherwise. But, it's rude to tell them that. As for nicknames, it depends on family culture. In my family, we use a mix of full and nicknames. So my kid is "Chris" some of the time, and "Christopher" other times. I have family members who always use one or the other. On the other hand, if they're the type to tell you "We call him Jimmy", and to ask the school to put "Jimmy" on his cubby in preschool, and to refer to him as "Jimmy" 100% of the time? Then you call him Jimmy.[/quote]
