[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I didn’t read all of the other responses, but I can totally relate to this. 
My middle daughter has a long name and DH and I came up with an adorable nickname for her straight away. In the hospital my MIL heard it and stuck with it for awhile. 
Sadly, it bothered me and sadly, I rarely use it now because I wanted the nickname to mine for DD. 
Haters can hate, but I relate to your post.

My solution was to phase it out (in public). Hope this helps for you. [/quote]

Wow. I just posted about the trollishnish of this post and can't believe someone else relates.[/quote]

I am a DP. I completely relate. My father used a special nickname for me. It’s tied forever to all the times he tucked me in, and cuddled me and nursed me when I was sick and encouraged me in my pursuits. It has sentimental meaning, I would not want my grandma to use it.

Heck, even the Queen of England had a nickname that her parents called her and that only her husband was allowed to use.

I find it weird that people feel entitled to call others whatever they chose. [/quote]
