[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing that's just their name[/quote]Maybe this is the difference. I don’t do this because in my mind it’s not their name. Or maybe a better way of saying it is it’s only their name to [i]me[/i], never to other people.[/quote] THIS IS IT EXACTLY! It’s not their name. It’s what the speaker calls them because they are the person’s child. My whole family calls my aunt, whose real name is Susan, “Bitty,” because her siblings nicknamed her that when they were little. As in she’s itty bitty. It’s cute! And I only and forever think of her as Bitty. But if I’m talking about her to someone else, I would refer to her as “my aunt.” Because she’s not Bitty to them.[/quote]
