[Opinions] Re: UK/Spanish pronunciation problems
in reply to a message by Mig
Why worry just call him by his nickname of Gabe, and wait untill he is old enough to decide for himself what he wants to be called
Both names are good solid traditional names I like them equally
As for his Grandad calling him Patrick if you dont like it tell him or just look at it as a Grandad Grandson thing
I have known people who manage with pronounciation problems a girl I know called Maria was used to being called Ma ree uh by most of her family and Mah ry uh by her grandmother, ( it was the way the grandmothers mother also called Maria pronounced her name )
Children are often known by several names in my family, my daughter is Catherine at school and Catie at home ( due to there being a girl called Katie in her class) she is also Kitkat to one of her cousins
I think you are worrying far too much, is something else bothering you so that its making you focus on his name more, I tend to do that transfer my worry about one thing onto another.
