[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't even get me started. We call our son Sasha, and English speakers give me funny looks when they find out it's a nickname for Alexander. You won't believe it, but my SIL has a problem with it. What if the poor child learns his "Russian" name, and a teacher at school calls him by his "English" name? The horror. She makes me want to smack her, but what do I know. I'm just a drunken savage after all.[/quote] Your SIL is eye-rollingly stupid. My very American, English speaking, been here since before the American revolution family always has nicknames. If a kid's name is "Grace Elizabeth," she is probably going to be "Ellie" or "Lizzie" at home and "Grace" at school. It never causes any confusion. BTW, I love "Sasha" as a nickname. [/quote] Thanks! :) My SIL is something else. She's an odd one out though, because all DH's cousins are pretty cool.[/quote]
