[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ...psst: this is why you shouldn't have named him Christopher. If you've lived in the US for a long time, you would know that our culture is crazy for nicknames. It's a way to show affection and intimacy. Everyone calls you Elizabeth but I'm your sister so I call you Lizzie, that kind of thing.[/quote] [b] No, it's not the PP's fault that the PP's son's teacher insists on calling the PP's son a nickname the PP's son doesn't want to be called.[/b] I have a brother, raised in the US, whose name is the equivalent of Christopher. Somehow throughout most of his life, most people have managed to remember to call him [the equivalent of] Christopher, rather than [the equivalent of] Chris.[/quote] NP. I think the PP is saying that you should spare your child having to do this if you possibly can. Whether it's wrong or right doesn't matter, it's reality that people do this in America.[/quote]
