Nick-Names

[pleasure-past.livejournal.com]

Have any of you ever given your kid a name that you liked with a common nick-name that you didn't like (or do you know anyone that has)? If the kid is old enough for you to say, how did that work out? Do they go by the name you call them by, or did little Henry become Harry as soon as he started school?

I feel like nick names come about when the individual is better suited with it. Like I am a Julie. I hate it. I'm nothing like it. People started calling me Jay. It is perfect and suits me well. There is a big part in East of Eden about this and it is worth the read.
