GC names

I agree that within the family it's a loving intimate thing M0nica I love the expression "cuddle names"
Why would you plaster it all over FB though.

Fine, but I wouldn't do this in public (which definitely includes Facebook!). A friend and her in-law always use the same rhyming name for their granddaughter on FB, usually preceded by "our little..". It's very twee and though cute for a baby, has to be embarrassing for an eight year old.

Pressed to quickly. Meant to add that I'm not amused. I put up with it though cos I love em.

My sister does this to her now adult children and now all three do it to ME.

If it is an affectionate term for the children..'pet' names within the family is a common & normal thing to do! I was known a Nayno in my family,especially by my grandma!
I refer to Stanny Manny & Pheobe Beeby plus Conkers Bonkers and Elly Belly. In the park /public they are known by their proper given names

Better not mention Robbie Dobbie Doo then! No idea where it came from but suspect it was little sis. Like monica occasional affectionate use and not in public.

I do it, but only to the children themselves, who seem to enjoy it - and only on occasion.

I never use these, what I call, cuddle names, when mentioning them in conversation.

I don't see a problem tbh.

It's a bit twee I suppose, but if she is your friend.....grit your teeth.

We had a part time nanny called Clare and the boys called her Clare Bear for years!!

Good grief no !

Not cute ( although Kitty's GC is) not big and not clever. Poor kids !! The only one we occasionally use is QOTU for our Grandaughter ( Queen of the Universes)

kitty I find that cute as it's actually a version of her name.
I bet 10 yr old Liam Beham wouldn't be pleased either aggie

My Father did that to me and I was so unhappy about it that I refused to speak to him , I was about 3 at the time . Everyone thought it hilarious , but no one ever did it since ,

I have a Hattie Mattie (Harriet Martha!)
