[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the logic that if a name is used in public “anyone can use it”. That certainly doesn’t apply to adults. At daycare pickup I hear a lot of moms greet their kids by pet names— that doesn’t mean when I see Brandon I say “oh hi Bam Bam!” Or I see Lily I say “how is school Lizard!” because that’s their parents pet name and, as others said, implies a level of closeness. My best friend calls me beans. If someone else did I would find it extremely jarring and ask them to stop. If I was a child I would have wanted my mom to make them stop rather than make me do it, just like with other unwanted encounters.[/quote]
