I have always loved the name Andrew. The name means alot to me and it is whar we are calling our son who is due in September.
I however really don't want him to be called Andy although appreciate that he may get called that, by his friends when older, if he chooses to.
I don't know whether I'm being super sensitive with pregnancy hormones and anxiety issues but I'm getting really wound up by OH uncle who is already calling him Andy despite me repeatedly asking him not too, not helped by the fact that OH dad is egging him on and telling me to get over it and it's bound to happen when he's here anyway. A friends husband has said the same thing.
It's starting to make me doubt a name (which, in my opinion, is a completely normal and strong name) I've loved for as long as I remember.
AIBU to be annoyed about this?
Will I just have to put up with it? Is it a non issue that I should ignore? I think it's the lack of respect of OH and mine wishes which is bothering me more rather than name itself. Please feel free to tell me to get a grip if necessary lol.
