This is my son, Christopher Mark. We call him "Topher" because thats how he used to say his name when he was starting to talk
Christopher says: And now I'm stuck with it for life. I wish people would call me by my proper name.
You say: I really like Topher, but how about you tell people that you want to be called Christopher?
You think: Topher is so much better than Christopher.

This is my son Ashley Dean
Ashley says: There's a lot of girls with the same name as me. I hate girls.
You say: You look like an Ashley. How about you go by Ash, Asher, or Dean? Plus, you won't feel the sam way about girls in about, oh, 10 years... Or maybe you will.
You think: Ashley is great, but Dean is really old fashioned.

This is my daughter, Elizabeth Grace. She's a tomboy
Elizabeth says: I hate my name, it's too girly. Can you give me an idea for a nickname?
You say: How about Liz, Liza, Aliza, Grace, Zabeth, or Grace?
You think: How boring. I hope she changes her name to Aliza when she gets older.
