So cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-a-nickname#post-2910176 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:30:35 +0000 peaches1038 2910176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I was going to say that we named our son a full name and intended on calling him just by his nickname. He is 4 and recently declared he only wants to go by his full name, which is fine, but not what we planned. So if you really want to just use the nickname, I would just name them that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-a-nickname#post-2910175 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:30:15 +0000 yellowbeach 2910175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: we write down Evie a lot / so much so that as of late we have had to explain that her full name is Evelyn 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-a-nickname#post-2910174 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:15:00 +0000 gotkimchi 2910174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you write their nicknames a lot? We have an Evelyn also who we can ev-ie but I never write it down, I always write down her full name. Just asking out of curiosity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-of-a-nickname#post-2910173 Thu, 13 Feb 2020 17:57:25 +0000 Mama Bird 2910173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ollie, like in the Junie B.

DD is Evelyn "Evie" (eee-veee) Inara L_____. We'd like Oliver to have a nickname, too. </p>
