Re: Like the full name but not the nickname/short name
in reply to a message by Chrysanthemum
I don't think it's unavoidable at all. My husband's little brothers are named Joshua and Daniel. They don't go by Josh or Dan. Their parents introduce them by their full names and call them by their full names, so other people do too.
I've found that people will call your child whatever you call them. Usually I introduce Ben as Ben, but sometimes I'll say Benjamin. When I do people will call him Benjamin or ask if I call him Ben for short.
