No matter what, your kid is going to reach an age to choose her/his own nn, or to not use one.
I hate the nn my family has for me, since birth, and no one else, not even family friends I've known forever, call me it. And I know others who hate their full name and go by a nn their family doesn't use at all.
I tend to avoid names that nn worry me.
Edmund is probably my favorite name ever but I hate
Ed and
Eddie. He could like both/either or. So I will only use it as a mn, if at all.
ETA: I meant to ask, how do you feel about
Adele or
Dell?
