[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. We have a similar problem. My husband wanted to name DC Timothy, I agreed under condition that he won't be nicknamed Tim (can't stand the nickname). DH agreed and asked his family to call DC Timothy only explaining the reasons for that. They refuse! They use Tim all the time and told me it's my problem that I don't like it as they don't like Timothy. I did let it go after that but it still makes me sad. [/quote] You should never ever have done this. You can't control what nickname they are given when they're older. My older son has a name that can be nicknamed - I much prefer the full name but acknowledge and am ok with the fact that he may end up being called by the nickname. We didn't use our favorite name for the younger son because we hate the nickname and knew we couldn't control it to the extent we'd want to so we went with a non-nicknameable choice.[/quote]
