Re: Gabriel
in reply to a message by vigdis
I like it in theory, but tend to be put off because of the "Gabrielle" pronunciation in many languages. Also, I don't think you will be able to ban a nickname. It will just happen, especially with strangers, friends, and he himself may want it.
About the high school thing. It would only be weird if we were good friends. If we are acquaintances, it doesn't matter.

My in-laws banned nicknames and it worked for all but one kid.
Anyway, I said we wouldn't use it, not that I'd ban it. Two very different things.

I wasn't using "ban" literally.
Yeah, you were. Don't even.
Panties in a wad because of our Lounge argument? I seriously didn't mean it as literal. If I had I would have admitted it to you. I honestly meant it as a "parents can steer people away from a nickname but if its going to happen its going to happen" sort of way.
But whatever, you have a chip on your shoulder so anything I say now is going to sound like I am being mean to you.

You must be scary as hell IRL.
This is my last reply yo you
I have said nothing g personal to you or have attacked you in any way. Nor am I going to.
The way you phrased the thread and the language you used made it seem as if you thought I was banning the nickname. If I was wrong, I apologize, but your wording is the problem
