I love a good nickname. But, despite how you might feel about them, chances are likely that whatever you name your kid is going to get shortened.
Maybe not by you or your family – but most likely by the time they’re in older grades at school or start playing on sports teams.
And, if you are a big nickname family, too, then it’s totally fair to choose your baby name based on the adorable nicknames that can go with it.
