[Opinions] Re: How to get people to call your child by nickname
in reply to a message by Mikah
It has never been a problem for us. My first dd, Katherine, goes by her nick (Kate) and my middle dd, Victoria, goes by her mn (Brooke). I've always introduced them as Kate and Brooke. In formal situations or in school situations, my children take care of that. It's no biggie, although my dh, James, does get from time to time people calling him Jim because they assume that he's called Jim. It takes very little effort to correct people.
