HelpRe: Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?
in reply to a message by CN
I guess I just think the autonomy of the individual is highly overvalued. To me nicknames are a valuable form of social surrender. I'd totally call your kid Nick. Unless I really liked him and he cried when I called him that.

If the child is too young to decide for himself, I'd call him Nicolas because that's what his parents call him. However, if he is old enough to introduce himself as Nick, not Nicolas, I'd call him Nick.
