Help[Opinions] Re: Nickname necessity?
in reply to a message by Ylva
I know plenty of people who go by their formal name, children and adults. In fact, I'd say more go by their formal name than a nickname, in my experience.
Also, no, it's not a matter of just not having time to say the whole name. It's an endearment. For me, I love my sons' formal names and their nicknames and I use them both.
Why not use just the nickname? In my case it's because 1) I love names and like the styles of longer, more formal names, and the comfy feel of short nicknames, and 2)because it gives the child (and later adult) an option of going by their formal name or a nickname.
