[quote=Anonymous]I think any parent of a child with a multi syllabic first name should always do some nickname planning. While a few kids will stay “Jonathan” or “Victoria”, for many of them it’s going to get cut down in syllables as other people start calling them by their name, especially if there are combinations of sounds that require someone to change their mouth shape/tongue positioning a lot to say in quick succession. So have something in mind to use for “Endicott” or be prepared to go with the flow when the kid or their schoolmates generate something else. I still use my kid’s multisyllabic name, but we’ve already degerated to that old joke “hi, I’m Enny, only my mother calls me Endicott”[/quote]
