And even though you have expressed how much you hate the name they persist in calling your son/daughter that? This has happened with my son and I am at a loss. THe nickname has spread from my side of the family to my husband's side.|||wow, that's pretty rude even after you expressed your disapproval.. I guess just keep at discouraging the nickname and hopefully they'll stop for you.|||My daughter's name is Phoenix. My dad's side and his family and the rest call her Nixie. I seriously am annoyed by this, but since we only see them about twice a year I let it go. If the name has spread that far, you can either correct them all, all the time or call him by his name by yourself and make his name special in your little way. If the rest of our families started calling her Nixie, I don't think I'd be able to stop it, someone will always be saying it.|||wow now your husband's side of the family is calling him that but yet you still haven't just backed down. your in a loosing battle. espically if everyone else but you is calling him that. how old is your son? is he old enough to say no I don't like that nickname or yes I like it? if not I would talk to your husband and see how he feels about it if he likes the nick name I think you should just let it go I know he's your son but if the nickname isn't offensive or anything like that you should just let it go.|||start making up nicknames for them, that you know they wont like and when they show concern for that, then say thats how i feel when you pick nicknames for my son after i told you i didnt like it.. be careful and try not to get into an argument, but start off as if it was afunny joke so they dont think your just being mean.. the point to all of this is to show how it is very bothersome to you and you want it to stop.. maybe by then, when they are in your shoes, they can see how it can become annoying. hope that helps.|||is it offensive? is your son okay with it? someone in my family called michael started getting called mickey by friends and family alike. his mother hated it, but he didn't, and it stuck. Give up!
Though if it's cruel, like mocking his appearance or intelligence or something, stand your ground and fight for him!|||I would express to YOUR side of the family how much you really HATE it and hope that catches on.....i am starting to experience the same thing and am hoping it stops.....my daughters name is Charleigh and MY family have started calling her Chaz i HATE it so i know how you feel!!!!!!|||How does your son feel about the nickname?
Does he hate it as much as you?
If he doesn't mind the nickname, then leave it alone.
If he doesn't like it, then it's up to him to tell the relatives to stop calling him that.|||Tell them when they get the name right they can see him, until then don't go to family events. They should repect what you want to call YOUR child. You are the mother put your foot down. GOOD LUCK...|||I would call him something different to see if it catches on or tell them to call him something else...|||call them something else all the time and maybe they will catch the drift without being rude
