[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who said I have a family nickname that I don't love it when others use.  I think the other posters have raised a good point about the nanny's feelings but I still think its gently doable.  Stop using the nickname in front of her (and ensure no one else, like grandparents, are using it at all) and then explain it was your in utero nickname and you really don't want it to stick to her and ask the nanny to try and make an effort to use whatever name you want DD to go by and make sure you do the same in front of the nanny.  I actually really just don't think it's big deal.  Now the nanny might come up with her own nickname for DD but it sounds like that would be okay with you.

FWIW, my cousin has a terrible childhood family nickname that was cute when he was a baby but is just sort of awkward now and I think his parents are wishing they put the kibosh on it years ago.  It is definitely reasonable for parents to try and avoid certain nicknames but you just have to be sensitive and gentle as to how you do it.[/quote]
