Nicknames for my child?
I have a two month old son named August Tennyson. My family is wonderful, and I love them dearly, but I need advice on a particular situation. My brother-in-law affectionately called my son “Gusty” on the day of his birth, and since that day, the nick name has stuck. My husband is Greek, and August is short for Augustus, a name we both put much thought into. We decided right away we would prefer to use his full name (August). However, everyone (in-laws, cousins, even friends) is now calling my child Gusty. It really bothers me, and I suppose as a proud new mama I dont like my sons name shortened to something I dislike. Am I over reacting? How do I stop this? I corrected people, but I have even received crib sheets embroidered with the name Gusty now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
That’s a tricky one, that’s for sure. I clearly remember when my brother had his first baby, Will. My mum mistakenly thought that Will was short for William and my SIL soon put her right, rather rudely, I thought at the time. I remember wondering what the big deal is. Fast forward to me having my own children. One of them is called Luka and here in Sweden, the name Lukas is the number one most popular name – most people think his name is Lukas and it drives me crazy. So, I can totally see where you are coming from but I also think that many of your relatives MAY think you are overreacting and won’t get why you are so bothered about it. I think you need to get them all together and explain that you just don’t like Gusty and that his name is August and that you would prefer him to be called that. However, I don’t think you are ever going to stop getting nicknames but at least you will not receive any more sheets with the wrong name written on them.
