Re: Nicknames
in reply to a message by Maegen
I think it's kinda cute, your child will most likely have several nicknames unrelated to his real name throughout his life anyway.
In high school, my form teacher was pregnant, and she wouldn't tell any of us what she was naming the baby. A few boys in my class decided that he would be called Felix, they thought it was a funny sounding name, and the teacher thought it was ridiculous. But they would always ask how Felix was, rather than how the baby was. When she'd had the baby, who was named Logan, the nickname Felix still stuck, and when she came to visit us, the boys would still call him Felix.
