[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think is a wonderful idea for a name. It's a real enough name. I like it. But I like when parents give their child the name they want to call the child. [/quote]
+1 Especially giving your child the name you will call them. So odd when people pick a nn they want to use then add another name as the legal first name that is never used. Just name your child the nn.[/quote]

No its not strange to want to give the baby options when that child grows up![/quote]
Yes it is. It’s very strange to name your child one thing with the plan to call them something completely different from the start. NNs are things that evolve over time from your real name. They aren’t something that your parents plan out from the very start to call you all the while giving you another name.

If your child wants an option to be called something else then they can change their name. To give another name from the start as a fall back name means you know the nn you plan to use is dumb to begin with and not something a person would want to be called. [/quote]
Disagree, very normal to age out of a childish nickname, and I'm the fuddy duddy with the 3 year old Dorothy. [/quote]
