[Opinions] Re: Could you use a 4/5 syllable name without a nickname?
in reply to a message by Lily8
If people knew the intentions of you and your daughter, that you both wanted her full name used, then most people would respect your wishes. There are some, such as teachers and new acquaintances, who might refer to Alexandria by a nickname accidently or by the assumption that she prefers it. If a teacher or acquaintance knew an Alexandra or Alexis, they might be accustomed to shortening it to Alex, Lexy, Sandra, etc. However, few people would be deliberately impolite enough to call her by a nickname if she didn't want that.
