[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aaaand this is why there are a lot of Maddies out there.

This was a core requirement for our name search. If people argue over how a name is supposed to be pronounced, we crossed it off the list. Even if we loved it. Because that would make it worse, no? Loving a name and then having people regularly pronounce it differently? Or tell us we were pronouncing our own child's name wrong? No thank you.[/quote]

No people like to give nicknames or sometimes there are two in the class.  I would never cross a name off my list for " potential" problems with future people who may or not have trouble with my kids' names!  [/quote]

People also give nicknames when they are unsure of the pronunciation of the full name.

You should do what you want, but a lot of people factor in potential pronunciation problems when they select their kids names. That's why OP asked this question. Some people might not mind if their kid's name is pronounced differently or if their kid has to correct pronunciation, but it would bother me and that's why we stayed away from names with this issue.
