But it's SO nice to have your kid have a one-syllable nickname. Do you know how many times a day I have to say "BEN?!" Plus it's much easier for him to learn over Benjamin. He can read "Ben" already, and he's not 3 yet. So I'm a fan of the short simple nn option.

Also, there are more reasons to have a nn than for something shorter. They can be used to show affection, too.

Not arguing, btw. I understand being somewhat against nicknames. It is refreshing to hear full names used that most often are used with nicknames! I just am quite pro-nickname because my name doesn't really have one, and I've always wished it did. I wanted to be one of the kids who got to tell the teacher what he/she wanted to be called when my full name got called on the first day of class! :)
