A friend of mine has a son named Nathan. She absolutely HATES the nn "Nate". He is 4 and occasionally people call him Nate, which she pretty well tells them off for. Personally I understand if she doesn't want him to be called Nate, but also, is it really that terrible? Also, if you don't like the nn for a certain name, wouldn't you just avoid using that name? Just wondering... wdyt?
Ps- I have a super-short name, and I still end up getting called "Ame" or "Amos" alot! It doesn't bother me though.
