Help[Opinions] With our DD,
in reply to a message by Mikah
we introduced her by her full name (Victoria Kathleen) and followed that immediately with the statement, "We're calling her Tori Kate." My grandparents still refuse to use the nn and call her Victoria, but that's fine. We were really trying to avoid the nn Vicky. We have a 99% success rate - I have one acquaintance who *still* refers to my DD as Vicky, but it could be that we speak so infrequently that she honestly forgets I dislike Vicky, and although I do make a point of stressing "Tori" when I speak with her, I don't jump down her throat. :o) Generally, if you start calling your kid something other than his/her name, friends, family & acquaintances will follow your lead.

Ooh, I didn't know your daughter went by Tori Kate. That's adorable. I like nns that incorporate the middle name that way. My mum (Margery Joan) used to go by Maidie Jo when she was little, which I think was cute as well :-)

I've never heard
of Maidie as a nn for Margery before. That's cute, too! :o) Yep, DD went through a phase (about 2 days) where she would only answer to "Kate." Then, she would only answer to "Tora." Now she's back to Tori and Tori Kate...who knows what she'll come up with next. She's certainly her mother's child, lol!
