Help[Opinions] Re: Quick question for all concerning nicknames
in reply to a message by Jewel
I think parents probably decide nicknames either before the child is born or as their personalities develop.
Also, I work in a preschool and often older siblings that can't quite pronounce a their younger or older sibling's longer name will come up with a nickname. Usually a shorter version of the longer name.
Let's just say children can be quite creative. The children I work with have been known to call me any of the following: mermer, ember, amburger and more. :)
