lol... I named my kids to be called their full name.... Joshua, I call Joshua (he hates that haha) and when he was little his aunty would always say Josh so I always when UA! haha... well actually we call him Smunchie rofl which he hates more... just a nickname which stuck from when he was like hmmmm really young, was munchkin... ummm then Oskar... he's pretty much just Oskar (or Ratbag) and then there's Nuggy.... yup ok... Elijah (do NOT call him Eli!! People take it on themselves to do that!! Some call him Lijy)... we call him Nugget/Nuggy/Nug lol.

So, anyway, nope I don't call them a name knowing that I'll call them by a nickname/shortened version etc.
