Survey: best name for a newborn baby boy?

JohnZhang wrote in ups.com: What do you think among these 3 choices? thanks for any input! http://www.thepollspace.com/polls.ph...=75&category=0 did you mean to use Nicolas, Steven (Stephen) or Robert? i certainly hope so, because actually naming the poor child with a diminuative is unkind. it's hard enough to get along in the adult world without being saddled with a 'baby nickname' as your given name. I don't think Nick, Steve, and Bob/Rob are so bad if that is what he likes as a name. As someone else mentioned - the person can use Steven as an adult nickname just as easily as the Steven can go by Steve. I would agree with you if he had suggested a Nicky, Stevey, or Bobby though. Those names wear out at about age 4 but the ones he had listed can and do last a life time. My mother's name was Rosa. Her nickname was Georgia. She even had Georgia on her driver's license. Very few people outside her family knew her legal name. It didn't seem to cause her any trouble what so ever. My cousin (who is my age) is Beth, not Elizabeth. Her mother regrets that decision but Beth herself never has AFAIK. I hang out on another group where a mom felt like she named her girls wrong and so she had them legally changed to something totally different when they were 6mos old - just up and changed them, lol. I may be biased though because I have a Luke, not a Lucas. -- Nikki Mama to 4 boys |
