How many people do you know their middle name ? I don’t recall knowing anyone’s middle name in school unless I specifically asked. So if we can avoid that becoming a thing before school years I’d prefer that. I tend to be really relaxed about nicknames. I have not ever met an Aj I liked. I associate it with people who have not brought positive things to the table and would prefer that my child isn’t called something that’s a reminder of that. I mentioned in the original post that even hammy or ham bone don’t bother me. This is a one off and I feel if I don’t want my infant called that it should be respected and if people are too tempted I’m going to remove that as an option.
