[Opinions] Re: Nicknames and full names
in reply to a message by Pie
On my side of the family (British) quite a few use nicknames, but on my OHs side (Danish) no one uses nicknames. Nicknames are not common here at all. If someone plan on calling their child by a "nickname" they will just use that name as a first name.If someone uses nicknames for my girls, like Else or Elsie or Arw, I correct them - If I had wanted them to call my daughter Elsie I would have named her that! Yeah, nicknames are a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Funnily enough, my first name (Luna) was originally a nickname (for Lunabella), but I've legally changed it, since I've always only gone by Luna.
