[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has a two syllable name that should be nickname proof, but friends at school made it one and she followed. It’s similar to Aud above. [/quote] I know someone who gave her DD a beautiful three syllable name and, confoundingly, DD and her school friends have shortened it to the last-two syllables. It's a fairly uncommon name so I don't want to say it because it's not my DD's name to share. But it would be like if you named your DD Miranda and she and her friends decided to shorten it to "Anda." Like... it's not a name or known nickname, it is actually kind of hard say (as opposed to many nicknames which tend to be easier to pronounce than the full name), it doesn't sound endearing at all. I do not get it. I think my friend is bummed even though she smiles through it. I don't understand why someone with a lovely name with purposefully choose an ugly nickname![/quote]
