babynamesMy son's name is Adrian Daniel.
Almost everytime I tell someone his name, they're like "Oh that's nice... Aiden, right?" And it's really irritating because I hatehatehate the -ayden trend.
But more on point, does anyone have nickname suggestions, besides Ian or Danny?
EDIT: I guess I should add the nickname that's kind of evolved for him is "Keiler", because when he was first born, he'd snort when he was hungry, and a keiler is a kind of hog in German (we live in Germany), but I'm afraid continuing to call him that into adulthood may give him some sort of complex. Ha.

Date: 2008-01-18 04:02 pm (UTC)i agree Adrian is a lovely name and i'm sorry ppl are so used to the aiden/caiden/braden annoying-as-hell trend that they hear that rather than his name.
and hey, if he outgrows his nickname good, if not, it'll be a family nickname. lol.
in my family when i was growing up, my nn was 'Desert Storm Legs' - thanks daddy! lol, b/c i was accident prone and slightly pigeon-toed as a youngster, so i was CONSTANTLY falling down and had a neverending supply of cuts/scrapes/bruises/scars/scabs on my legs. so he jokingly said his pretty little girl, from the waist down, looked like she had just stepped out of the Desert Storm War. *shrug* i don't have a complex it was funny and true. i outgrew it all, legs healed up, and the NN stopped. :) so don't worry about it.
