[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I do this at work. If I can't remember if it's Bob or Rob, I'll call him Robert because it's better, in my eyes, than calling him by the wrong nickname. If Robert/Bob/Rob gets offended that I didn't remember his preferred nickname, then he seems like an easily offended type and, well, you can't please everyone. My DD has a name with a lot of nickname options. We call her one, and friends, neighbors, and teachers all call her by a variety of different nicknames. If/when she expresses a preference, then we'll follow her lead. Her name, her choice. Name your kid Sarah or Emily if you don't want people giving her a nickname.[/quote] Emily will definitely get nicknamed. Sarah, maybe not.[/quote] I have a Sarah. When she started daycare as an infant, her teachers immediately started calling her Say-Say. I didn't see that coming. [/quote]
