[quote=Anonymous]OP, if your daughter was not upset about it, I really don't see why you are even worried about this nickname.

The boy probably saw a picture of Miss Muffat in a book and something about it reminded him of your daughter -- it could have been a dress she was wearing, a necklace, her hair, the shape of her face, who knows?

Ask her to think up a cute nickname for him too.

If the other kids start teasing her or soemthing that's a different issue entirely.

but here's the thing -- nicknames themselves don't lead to teasing and namecalling.

Unpopular kids get lots of junk thrown their way -- and one thing that gets thrown their way is teasing and namecalling.

If your child is unpopular and getting teased -- stopping a kid from using a nickname won't change that fact -- you need to do other things.   but it doesn't sound like your child is unpopular or being teased.

If you child is generally well liked, and isn't upset at the nickname -- then this won't lead to her being teased and called names.   It'll be fine.[/quote]
