[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]

So funny!  My daughter has a nickname from another language.  Not only does it not confuse her to be called one name at home and another name at school, she has at least three different nicknames at school.  She's three, and this does not confuse her in the slightest.  Your SIL is a moron. [/quote]
