[quote=Anonymous]All 3 of my children have nicknames (diminutives actually). I love it! I'd always wanted a nickname myself, so I picked long, classic names so my kids would have options. We didn't consider a name if it didn't have nickname potential. My 1st kid is called by her nickname 75% of the time, but enough people call her by her first name that it doesn't seem strange. She did ask her teacher and classmates to call her her nickname. School was resistant to it at first, which I found weird because her name is like Abigail/Abby (an obvious nickname). My 2nd and 3rd kids have never had anyone refer to them by their full name. Yesterday at the doctor they called out my 3rd daughter's name in the waiting room and I didn't even look up. Their names are less common and people prefer the nickname- like Wilhelmina/Willa.[/quote]
