HelpRe: Quick question for all concerning nicknames
in reply to a message by Jewel
Who decides a child's nickname (not referring to pet names, only nicknames)? The parents/siblings or the child himself.
~Well, family members did with my children.
Promise -> Missi came from me simply noticing that "mis" was in the name. Fun nn!
Keraden -> Keren (pro. like Kiran) because almost no one has ever heard of Keraden and Kera wouldn't be a boy's nn. So Keren it became!
Escapade -> Essie was James's choice to call her. It was under conditions that I could name her Escapade if he could call her Essie. I didn't argue my love for Essa anymore.
Treasure -> Azure, as I was complaining about her needing a nn and my sister decided this one worked fine. I wasn't happy with the Z at first, but since viewing my other options, I decided this one was the best of them. From there it's morphed in Zura though and I call her that more than Azure.
Harmony -> Mona (pro. like Monna) came from mostly Ciarda's searches of nicknames because I'm a nn kind of girl. I nn most everyone and then call them by their full name (It's a naming curse I have). Mona was just cuter than Hary or Rony or anything else they could come up with. We've also taken to calling her Hummy.
When usually is the nickname decided upon? Birth or before child can talk, or when child decides it himself?
~Well, Missi, Keren, Essie, and Mona were all nicknamed before they were born, but Azure wasn't nicknamed until she was late 3/early 4-ish. hehe.
Where do you live?

Seda: Has anyone seen the telephone?
Promise: *points to receiver* Maybe someone needs to find a way to attach it to this thing so it won't get lost.
Seda: *shakes head* Maybe we are becoming stupider with time.
