Re: Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?
You can only control what you do. Most people follow the lead of the parent. At least while the child is relatively young. If I really loved a name I would still use it and make my family call her/him by the full name. That's all you can really do. You have some nice names picked out, but they all have bad nicknames. If I didn't completely love the name I wouldn't use it. If I absolutely loved the name, I would call the child by that name, try to get everyone to follow along (including said child) and put up with those who call that child by nicknames.

Mhm, if the child liked the nickname, I'd have to relent. (nt)  ·  coldplayer9  ·  5/15/2011, 4:17 PM
