HelpRe: Like the full name but not the nickname/short name
in reply to a message by Chrysanthemum
Cause it's really so difficult to say Nathan :|
I would've thought Nathan would be pretty nn proof, except for Nath, I automatically shorten a name to its first syllable and sometimes add -y or -s. But Nat and Nate aren't glaringly obvious nn's, and hsould be avoidable. I'd just say "He's called Nathan" every time they try. The only way I think it's unavoidable is if he himself decides to go by one of those nn's. otherwise when he gets old enough he should saying "My name is Nathan" right along with you. Eventually most people should get it.
