[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get feeling non-plussed but agree with others that a small child's nickname is not the same as a nickname that anyone might give a child. No one else is going to call your DD Colie, and this will wind up being a silly family anecdote that your daughters hopefully joke about with each other.

I will add that if you are really worried about this, go hard on teaching your other DD to say Nikki (which will be easier for her than Nicole and feel more fun -- little kids really love two syllable -y nicknames for their singsong quality). Work it into songs, use it yourself. It won't take long before she never remembers saying Colie.[/quote]

If I were Nicole’s aunt, I’d be working hard on the little one to keep calling her Colie.I love that it is at least unique.[/quote]

I agree OP is overreacting but this instinct is vile. My mom is like this. When she can see something bothers me regarding one of my kids, she's always scheming to emphasize it or make it worse. It's exhausting.

If a family member tells you not to use a specific nickname for a newborn, don't. The end. Don't be a child.[/quote]

What’s vile is the nickname Nikki [/quote]
