Re: Acceptable nicknames for horrible names
in reply to a message by curiouslystrong
Working in a NICU, we come across babies with horrible names on a daily basis, and if they are with us for a long period of time, we tend to unofficially rename them or at least give them nn's, so I know where you're coming from. For instance, Princess might become "Essie" or Miracle "Mira", etc. One Miracle we had became Sofia (deemed so by her primary nurse), unofficially at least, after she was with us for almost 66 months and before she went into foster care.

Whoah
66 months? All in the hospital, or did she have some medical condition that required frequent hospital visits?

Yes, it was a typo!
Sorry, I just now realized I typed 66 instead of SIX! ;)
As long as I've been there, we've never had a baby stay longer than about 8-9 months. If they have to stay any longer than 5-6 months, usually, they are sent to a different part of the hospital.
