[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is such a trash take even for DCUM. NNs evolve over time? What? Do you realize that people are not born as adults? They’re born as babies and their parents refer to them by a name. Which is often a fun and cute name FOR A BABY (or small child) but not a name that an adult would want to be called. Choosing a given name and then deciding to call your baby a nickname for the given name is an acknowledgment that your child won’t be a child forever. [/quote]
Such ignorance. Lol.

You literally supported what you’re trying trash “[i]Choosing a given name [b]and then deciding[/b] to call your baby a nickname for the given name is an acknowledgment that your child won’t be a child forever.[/i]”

So you’re saying parents name their child something and then later decide to call them a nickname. So the nn evoled over time…That’s exactly the point that flew over your head. Which is not what people are advocating here. On this thread people have decided a nn from the start as the chosen name and are trying to fit a whole nother name as the legal name.

The stupidity to try to trash a post and end up agreeing with it. LOL. PP, you deserve a ⭐️for such a poor attempt at pretending to be smart.[/quote]

So let me get this straight: If I name my baby Katherine and then decide when she is 2 days old that Kitty is a good nickname for her, that's an acceptable "evolution" for you, but if I'm 9 months pregnant, decide Kitty is a cute name and so 2 days later name her Katherine at birth with the intention of calling her Kitty, that's not acceptable?
