Help[Opinions] Re: nicknames
in reply to a message by emilylauren
Its difficult to weight up the pros and cons on this one.. I have the same dilemma with the name Charlie.. I like the name but I don't like how its almost always assumed that your name is Charles and Charlie is your nickname. I don't like Charles.
My mum has said to me that when my brother James was born people would try to call him Jim but she wouldn't allow it and insisted that he be called James.
If you truely don't want your child to be called Josie, just correct people when they try to use that nn. Your child is your child and she should be called whatever you want her to be called, not other people (unless of course she decides that she likes the nn Josie, in which case you don't have much choice).
