HelpRe: Do certain names always gain nicknames?
in reply to a message by Georgia-Claire
Some people will always want to make a nickname. I have a son named Stephen, never Steve or Stevie. Just STEPHEN. Some people immediately say Steve and we correct them right away, and usually that is the end of that, although I through a fit when he got a baseball trophy that said "Steve"!
I also have a son named Joseph, and I WANTED to use the nickname "JoJo" and some people say "Joey" and he totally ignores them! ROFL! It's JoJo or Joseph but never Joey!
People can be hard headed but they learn!
Oh I have a dd named Jessie. Just Jessie. She had a teacher that always called her Jessica no matter how much she insisted that her full name is just Jessie! Drove the kid UP A WALL!!!!
