[quote=Anonymous]I named my kid Jonah instead of Joseph because I don't like the nicknames! I thought Jonah would be able to go by his full name, and nobody has tried to shorten it, but insisting nobody call a Joseph Joe would be weird. I'd say you got the first choice name, SIL can have the nicknames, who cares. But I also think "calling" names and expecting no one else to use them is ridiculous. You can't hypothetically name kids who don't exist and expect other people to not name their *existing* children that. One of my brothers, who is single with no kids on the horizon, actually gave me the silent treatment when I was pregnant for saying I was considering our grandfather's name and wouldn't talk to me until I promised not to use it. Pregnant with kid 2 now and I'm still pissed - he was my grandfather, too![/quote]
