People wouldn't call a young Peter 'Pete' nowadays, would they? Because I love Peter but HATE Pete.

What names do you love but really dislike a nickname for it? Would you hesitate to use them because of this?

They would probably call him Pete. But if he insisted on going by Peter, they might not. The only problem is, you can't control what your son will want to be called, and he might like being called Pete.

Hmm... I love David and hate Dave. I love Edward and hate pretty much all the nicknames, except for Ted and Teddy, which wouldn't work anyway, because my grandparents have a dog named Teddy.
