Baby has two names

[itsmebutisitme]

We took a while to name our baby, she has an official name but has a nickname that everyone calls her by. I'm worried that when she starts nursery (very soon) that she won't know her real name or they will just use the nickname and then when she goes to school she won't know her name. Am I totally overthinking this? Should I start using her 'real' name....aahhh thanks.

My husband was a teenager before a teacher called out his actual formal name and he did not recognise it as his name! Haha. His parents had not told him. He was embarrassed.
So, it is nice to familiarise your child with both her names.
