Nicknames like Alex and Chris are okay, but what's the point of naming your kid, let's say, William if you're going to call him Billy 99.9% of the time? He'll probably be known as Billy for the rest of his life anyway, so why complicate things? Just put Billy on the birth certificate! (IMO, of course.)

•Nicknames are just that, nicknames. It's the kids choice whether they use it in the future n/t · alice · 12/17/2004, 8:51 AM
