Okay, so... I have 3 kids ATM. (fourth on the way).
And I named them FULL traditional names.. And as soon as I popped my oldest out, my grandmother called her Annie.
Needless to say, I flipped... poopie.

Names:
Anabel Marie
James Arthur
Roselyn Ann

Okay, so.. I'm all for nicknames that THEY choose, or there friends make up for them. But my grandmother was already condemming my poor daughter to being called Annie.. NO.
(She actually is called Annie now.. But thats different.)

So, Anabel, is 7. And at 6 she came home telling me her new friend Katie (Real name: Katherine) made up a nickname for her and she was wondering if that was okay.
At first it was Bel, but then Katie moved away and Anabel made NEW friends. Who called her Annie. (Personally I like Bel better.) And so, Anabel is now called Annie at school. Even by the teachers.
But, that was HER decision. Not mine, or anyone else's.

Okay.. Now that I'm done with my rant...
Any predictions for my other 2 kids future nicknames?

I think James will probably stay James.. And Roselyn will probably end up as Rosie, or Rose.. (Crosses fingers for Rose).
