[quote=Anonymous]I know lots of people that either go by their middle name or switched middle/first. My grandfather did it to avoid prejudice associated with his very ethnic first name but my grandmother did it more because her middle name (chosen by her aunts) was trendy and her first name was a more traditional family name. It’s still very common. One of my best friends growing up was Mexican and non Spanish speakers never got the accent right on her name and would just pronounce it with the American pronounciation, so she always went by an abbreviation nickname (just the first syllable of her name). Anyway, she shouldn’t feel ashamed of her name but lots of kids do lots of different things for different reasons. Sometimes it goes thru phrases. I wouldn’t make this a fight but maybe a variation of her first name might be a good middle ground, or even initials. [/quote]
