In fact, today I asked him "who is _____?" And he pointed to himself! Ha!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-2#post-1777307 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 21:04:46 +0000 Applesandbananas 1777307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He goes by his full name at daycare and that's how we introduce him, but he has three nicknames that different people use interchangeably (including daycare).</p> <p>He answers to all of them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-2#post-1777306 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 21:04:33 +0000 delight 1777306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only use her nickname. We probably would have named her just her nn but thought it'd be nice if she was older to have options. Some family members call her by her full name but we plan to register her in school as her nn and hope it sticks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-2#post-1777302 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 21:01:59 +0000 Adira 1777302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We almost never call Xander by his full name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-2#post-1777254 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:35:56 +0000 dolphin 1777254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I speak to her I use her full name. When I talk about her to friends I use her nickname. All my friends call her by her nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-2#post-1777246 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:29:22 +0000 Mae 1777246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use her nicknames interchangeably, although I think we use her given name about 75% of the time. When we shorten it I call her Fia and my husband calls her Nona. (her name is Fiona). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-2#post-1777236 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:24:21 +0000 loveisstrange 1777236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has a nickname, but we hardly use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-2#post-1777234 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:23:52 +0000 mrsrain 1777234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO has a nickname, do you use that name exclusively or interchangeably with their given name?</p> <p>My daughter is Madeleine and we call her Maddie for short... but we both love her given name so much that we still make an effort to call her by that name regularly. </p>
