[Opinions] Re: Terrible nickname?
in reply to a message by Bex
I think Daffy is just fine. It reminds me of daffodils as much as Daffy the duck.
Anything can be mean, or endearing, depending on the intonation. I was teased with Catlin. Which means nothing mean in itself, but it got under my skin, and the other kids picked up on that.
We've always called DD silly and goofball, and she likes being called those things. So if you use daffy endearingly, she may actually like it. I would definitely use it as a nickname myself, to set the tone for it.
You should use the name you love, shut your mum out for the rest of your pregnancy, and don't worry about it. Frankly your mom is being an ass.
