[Opinions] When nicknames go bad
I haven't posted here in months. But I was wondering what others thought of this.I know someone with two boys. The first is Logan and she calls him Lowgy. Not too bad I guess. Kind of cute even, for a little one. However the second is Dylan and she calls him Dilly! Ugh, I think thats awful.I don't have a problem with nicknames in general, but some are just horrible. These kids are just babies, so they don't know the difference, and I guess the names will be dropped when they're older (although nns do have a tendency to stick). But I still don't like it. It feels kind of like their mother is making a mockery out of them.So what do you think? Is it ok to give your kids silly (dilly) nns?
