[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My son is named James. We use the nickname JP. People very often will call him Jim or Jimmy, which we do not use or like. By using the nickname often, or correcting people nicely, they will eventually get it. But yes, it is a little frustrating when assumptions are made. - Elizabeth (nn Betsy but always called Liz by strangers)[/quote] On the other hand-I have a 5yo James and no one ever calls him Jim or Jimmy. I don’t think he would even have a clue that they were talking to him if they used Jimmy. I feel like the trend in kids names (at least around here) has been towards formality, so people don’t assume nicknames as much, especially for names that are short anyway. [/quote]
