[quote=Anonymous]I also don't really love nicknames and gave all 3 of mine names that really don't lend themselves to nicknames.  There are certain people that call them something kind of nickname-y occasionally, but nothing regular and my kids wouldn't introduce themselves that way.  (sort of like calling someone named Lily - Lils or something jokey but not a nn).

But it is weird how people grab on to anything to give a kid a nn sometimes.  We had a sort of family joke where we called one of my kids by the letter of his first name.  So at one of his sporting events, I would sometimes call out to him as he played, saying "Go, D" (not his actual letter, but you get the idea).  Well, at the next game, one of the other parents started calling him D.  And continued to do so all the time after that.  This parent had known us for years and had never called my son that before.  I thought it was so strange.

Anyway, just keep on calling her Caroline and if it's REALLY bothering you, I see no reason why you can't just tell people that you're calling her Caroline, not Cece, especially now that she's getting older.  [/quote]
