I understand the irritation with unwanted nicknames now

Back before I had my daughter, I remember reading a lot of stuff on here concerning nicknames and how people didn’t want to pick a certain name because they didn’t like the potential nicknames associated with it. At the time I thought, “What’s the big deal? Lots of people have nicknames...” But now after having a few people refer to my Natalie as “Nat” or “Nat Nat” (my least fav) I totally get it! It doesn’t bother me enough for me to say anything or correct people, and honestly I realize it’s harmless, but for some reason it does grate on my nerves! There’s really no point to this post other than to say sorry for thinking y’all were being crazy. Lol

EDIT: Wow, I did not expect to get so many responses to this! Glad so many folks can relate! I’m enjoying reading all these responses.
