I dislike the name Annie and still named my daughter Ann*ika.. I used to correct people if they shortened it but dont have to now as she will tell you thats not her name.

Te*leah, I dont like Leah either but no one has ever tried to shorten hers, cept for her sisters when they couldnt pronounce it properly.

and Yep M*illana, don't like Milly either nor Lani... her name has been shortened by me to Narni and I will tell others that the first too are not acceptable unless she asks. Can not stand lani but I think that's because ex mil has always tried to call her that no because of the actual name.
