Help[Opinions] Re: Quick question for all concerning nicknames
in reply to a message by Jewel
In my family the child and his or her peers eventually chose the nickname thats not to say that at first we dont try and steer them towards a name we like best I detest the nickname Cathy and asked my neices to use Catie or Cate instead which they did
As for when, well that depends on the child my daughter decided just before she was five that she wanted to be known by her full name instead of a nickname, Within the family she still gets called Catie but her schoolfreinds all know her as Catherine
A freind called her Daughter Susan and refused to let the anyone shorten it but at the age of Ten Susan rebelled and became Suzi to all her freinds and cousins
My neice Victoria used to be known as Vick or Vicky but decided she prefered Tori when she was about nine
I live in Kent England
Edited to explain a bit more clearly
A childs smile is worth more to me than Gold
