There really is no name immune from being turned into a nickname, is there?

[chipmonkey]

Ds2 told me today that there is a girl in his class called Olivia who gets called Oblivion.

I heard of an Amber being called Amberger.

Is no name safe?

I have now been told that Finn is known as Finbob!

My DS is Thomas. Its obvious hes gonna be called Tommy and Tom.
We already call him Tommy tucker, Mr Thomas, Tom Tom. Hes only 3 months old. Dont know where they came from, i think me or my OH just came out with it one day while talking to him.

Im Vicki, (not victoria) and get Vic, Vicks, Vickster, Vixen.

I have a friend who called her little girl Sarah because she didn't want her name to be shortened. She now calls her little girl Sarah-Boo!

I an confirm that Sarah is not immune from nicknames. I've had Saz, Sazza, Sare, Sez...

Bob? Can't think of a nickname for that.

He'd get called Bobby

I got Beany at school, no idea why?

jane would be hard to change

Janie?

oh really? hadn't heard of that

funny in'it. I can count on one finger the people who shorten my name. my brother. no one else does.

scully, my DS is Leo as well

So far the only nickname that has been tried is by FIL who occasionally calls him L.J. (middle name is James). I don't like it.

leonard

Ivy, please tell me people in this country are NOT going to nickname my kid 'Leonard'. We will have to move.

but I always thought leonard was the ful name and leo was the shotrned nickname for ease....casue leonard is a bit of a mouthful

I have a really odd first name, but was known as Scruffy for years and years, cos when I was small my cousin used to call me... fridascruffs.

My dd is Harriet, I shorten it to Harri. Her friends call her Hazzie, which I do not like.

Nope, Leo is a name in its own right. DS is named for my great grandfather.

I thought Ophelia but apparently there was one in my brother's class and they said I'd feel ya
grue

Dh called Iain it gets shortened by some to Ee!?!?!?

my friend graeme is called eme...

My neice has a great name- Amelie . When she was little she called herself 'Ali' and that still sticks. She's also Ams, Spam, Spambo and 'She who must be obeyed' .

Had a friend at school lst name was Keyes.

He was known all through highschool as Buncha.

DGD Sarah Bear, Amelia, is Mil Mil or Milly

His LAST name was Keyes.

Hi Yankn! Actually my Leo is currently going under a nickname "Leona" at home, he is so sensitive, cries at a drop of a hat. :O
