7week old dd is called Kaiya, dp named her, I don't like it and was planning on using a nn but for the first time ever nothings come to me!

Dd1 has loads even though I like and use her real name also, so why can't I find one for dd2? They usually come so naturally to me, I'm one of those people who shorten everyones name!

Sorry, pronounced kaiya as in eye-ah dd1 just says her whole name, she's 6 so has no problems with pronounciation. Boring child Hmm Grin

something will come, it will. i never intended nicknames for my dcs but they have just evolved naturally as i got used to referring to my dcs.

what does dc1 call her? my ds1 couldn't pronounce my cousin's name when small and called her yawyah. it stuck and now all her family call her that and all the new dcs call her that too.
