In general, I don't mind nicknames, as long as it's not the person's legal name. One good thing about nicknames is that it differentiates different people with the same given name. In my kindergarten class, there were two boys named
Nicholas, and to differentiate the two, one went by
Nick instead.
My experience with nicknames is that everybody calls me
Steph except for people I'm meeting for the first time, because I always intro myself as
Stephanie. My mom also calls me Stephie sometimes, as did my gramma.
