My daughter names is Cassandra. When I was still married we agreed she would pick her nickname. His mother has always liked Cassy. After the seperation and divorce (he lives with his mom)we have 50/50 custody. Cassandra became Cassy, I talk to him about tell why she was named Cassandra and he never told her so I did.
We worked with a great lady named Sandra she became terminally ill, while I was pregnant, he mentioned to name our child after her would make her very happy we didnt tell her. Sandra was in the same hospital when Cassandra was born and we took Cassandra to meet her, she and her husband cried and said it was an honor Sandra died two weeks later. So my mother hates the name Cassy, and makes nasty remarks when she heres Cassandra called Cassy. I keep telling her to drop it. My Question is should I just let it go?? Iam not fond of the name but Cassandra likes it, so I try not to say negative things around Cassandra, but the grandmothers are being Advice plz |

My daughter's name is Christine and I have always called her Christine. No one has ever called her Chris. But for some reason my sister decided to start calling her Chrissy when she was small.It was like nails on a chalkboard to me.
But since your daughter is already used to being called Cassy, I don't know what you can do about it now. |

my sons name is steven
i have called him nin, stevie or bubba he now goes by sebastain(which is his middle name) in school or his closest friends call him steve ..which every time i hear i want to smack them up side the back of their heads and want to correct them and tell them his name is steven.. well my point your daughter will have many names in her life probably tell your mom to just start calling her by something eles no one does and make it just their thing |

I'm lost. I cannot understand who is what and why.
I know that people wanted to nickname my daughter Ally I said nooo her name is Alyssa and now some of her friends call her Ally and I don't like it but what can ya do? I figure I call her whatever the hell I want to and so will everybody else. As long as it's not a bad name, does it really matter? |

The more you tell people something bugs you the more they are likely to do it. I had a nickname that I absolutely hated as a child but since have been called many shortened versions of mu name. As you get older it kind acts as a chapter guide to your history and she won't mind so much.
If your family member is doing it to be ugly it is probably her jealousy and reflects on her more than it does your daughter or you. Sounds like the youngin is rolling with it so try to save your energy for the fights she asks your help on. If your daughter knows the story, something to share in a happy heart to heart, unrelated to the other family members ugliness it will most likely be a the honor it was intended. Try not to stoop to the low level of people who try to make a tough situation worse. Sometimes "the best punishment for a fool is silence." Hang in there the years will pass and your dughter will be grown and out on her own. The one great things is you usually out live your in-laws and the out-laws. Hugs! |
