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?

My bestfriend in high school was Jonathan. Not Jon. Everyone and their mother insisted on calling him Jon. He responded to both, but never addressed himself as such. I think he just got used to it.

My name is Danielle. The for my parents was to name me Danielle and call me Danie. It never stuck. Its just not me. If anyone calls me anything other than plan Danielle, 99% of the time its "Miss Danielle". I dont know why, but people have been doing it my entire life. Or Stephanie. Again, dunno.
