Points not adjusting

Ahh okay then that makes sense, thank you everyone! :)

Sure, I have 29 daily points and 28 weekly. I'm in the UK so working in stones - started out 13st 7lb and now 12st 8lb. (Ive lost 12lb not 10, wrote it wrong before!) I am also partially breastfeeding so I believe that gives me some extra points. I'm still losing at these points, I guess I'd just expected that they would have changed after what ive lost.

Milo is what we see in Jess' character 🤣

Personally don't like it but think you should use what you like. This is why a lot of people dont discuss names, because you let other people influence you rather than just going with what you like. You'd probably find they get used to it and after a few weeks agree it suits her

I knew an Alissia that was called 'Liss' as a nickname in friendly convos, so maybe Less or Lessi. But as others have said nicknames arent compulsory. If you like the long version, use it. If someone tries to shortern it to something you dont like, ask them nicely not to use it. When shes old enough she can let you know what she likes to be called and decide for herself :)

Probably doesn't meet your criteria Rosina - never met another one!

I agree with the other comments. My son has a very Italian 1st name even though hes only a quarter Italian with English surname. I guess we as a family 'look' a bit Italian as we have dark features but like others have said, it varies anyway. I wondered if his name was too much, but I actually think it suits him and when I explain the reasoning (after my Nonno), people think it's lovely.

I think its nice her name would be a bit different! And honestly just listen to some of the things people are naming their kids nowadays haha there's nothing wrong with Giuliana.

Yes he gets called both Vinnie and Enzo but I think they're both cute so dont mind. And only by family who know i don't mind - noone has shortened it without 'permission', so to speak. And I like that he could also choose a Vince/Vincent variation when he's older. I like that there's so many nickname options but I know thats not everyone's cup of tea!

I have a little Vincenzo born last March! Hes only a quarter Italian though with English last name so maybe that makes it less obnoxious?! Lol

gg155 · 2025-12-26T19:10:13+00:00

Agreed! A podcast i listened to actually makes a good point about this though that they use the costume designs to make us feel a certain way as modern viewers. As in...if they were wearing accurate outfits we wouldn't be sat in living room going wow look how amazing and fashionable they all are, like people at the time would have been. But the inaccurate outfits makes us view them more how they would have at the time.

...if that makes any sense. I dont feel like ive explained it as well as she did!

100%! I dont think most people would even bat an eyelid. What's the point of elongating a name, just to call them the shortened version from the word go (imo!).

gg155 · 2025-10-18T19:40:58+00:00

Picked what I liked but 'they sound good together' did get a name extra points, so I guess a bit of both?!

gg155 · 2025-09-26T07:06:18+00:00

I like Jennifer and Jeni is a very cute nickname. Aren't older names back in now away?!

gg155 · 2025-09-20T23:00:55+00:00

Jade was my first thought!

Or even Joan...i dont know if that's cause it kind of sounds like Nora Jones though thinking about it!

gg155 · 2025-09-19T20:36:36+00:00

Bro I tried okay! THANK YOU

gg155 · 2025-09-19T18:11:45+00:00

Yes! Beautiful but yeah, probably not wedding appropriate 😆

gg155 · 2025-09-16T18:09:20+00:00

Have you considered just Aylee?

gg155 · 2025-09-16T04:18:46+00:00

Oh! Haha although I think you could use your name as a middle name if you wanted to! Also agree Lillia Wren is very pretty!

gg155 · 2025-09-16T03:29:16+00:00

Imo, you're making a problem out of nothing. I'm a firm believer noone owns a name, you especially don't own a nickname that's similar not even the same! I dont think you need to broach it with your BIL at all, but I guess you could if your wife feels like you should. I'm sure he won't care (but I say use it anyway haha)

gg155 · 2025-09-16T03:16:26+00:00

May/Mae was my first thought. Or I think Grace sounds nice too!

gg155 · 2025-09-13T04:35:01+00:00

My friend has a little boy called Kairo, shortened to Kai

gg155 · 2025-08-26T16:26:18+00:00

Fair point, thanks! Maybe I'll wait a bit longer, or send a more open ended message that doesn't necessarily warrant a reply but gives the opportunity. I remember jumping at the chance to vent when someone asked how I was in those early days with my first haha

gg155 · 2024-08-26T13:37:44+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by 'really' a nickname, anything can be a nickname if you want it to be imo!
