HelpRe: Using a less common nickname
in reply to a message by Llewella
As most people on this site know, my youngest half-sister is Marguerite nn Daisy. Most people don't even realise her full name is Marguerite because at the moment we just introduce her as Daisy. She introduces herself as Daisy as well but if you ask her what her FULL name is she will announce Marguerite Siena Catherine *last name* (except she doesn't get all the pronounciations *quite* right yet!). We rarely call her Marguerite at the moment except for the occasional sing-songy 'Miss Marguerite' but I think its likely she'll choose to go by it at some point, even if only professionally.
When it does come up in conversation, we just explain that Marguerite means 'daisy' in French and that Dad and A loved the name Marguerite and loved the name Daisy but thought Daisy was too childish for an adult and Marguerite was a lot of name for a little girl - perfect compromise for them! Most people don't question it more than that.
