Help[Opinions] We don't use a nn
in reply to a message by Jewel
We had pet names for our daughter, but no nn. I prefer her formal name. Her friends have called her different nn, but now she has decided one for herself. But only her friends call her that, we parents, grandparents and teachers use her full name.
Nick names seem to be taken very seriously in USA, parents decide before birth, decide the spelling and how it sounds with the surname. I would only use a nn sometimes, every time the name has to be written or used with the surname, I would use the full name. Our daughter also uses her full name when introducing herself with her surname.
We live in Sweden.
