Re: When nicknames go bad
in reply to a message by Trina
My daughter's name is Abby. Although that name is a nickname itself, it still gets shortened. She gets called Ab, Abbers, and worst of all...everyone in our group of friends at church calls her Abner or Lil Abner.

Some people are just determined to use nicknames! I really like the name Abby, by the way. It's one of those nicknames that I like as a full name too. I remember when I was younger my parents had friends with a daughter named Emma. They used to call her Emmett for fun. I think it started when she was about 5 and got her all cut off because she wanted to look like Maria from the Sound of Music. Her parents started introducing her as their son - Emmett. She didn't mind and it was kind of cute. However if they had started calling her that from the day she was born I would have thought it was very odd.
