[quote=Anonymous]Mom and nanny, here. As pp's have said, if you don't like a particular nickname, you're well within your rights to ask the nanny to stop. The fact that you don't want the nanny to have an innocuous pet name for your son is upsetting to me. Yes, you're the parent and you named him. So? Your nanny is an important person in his life, and he in hers. Asking her not to have any endearments for him is petty and disrespectful.

Several years ago, I worked for possibly the best MB in the world. I called her little boy a diminutive of his given name, and also, an absolutely ridiculous nickname based on something he'd done. One day, the little boy's sister complained "Why does she call him those things? We don't call him that!"

I would have immediately stopped with the nicknames, if MB has wanted. MB was so sweet, though. She explained to her daughter, "Those are her 'love names' for him." So, instead of being upset, the girl wanted her own "love name," which she got.  :D

Chill out, and be glad your nanny is fond of your kid, OP.
