Hypenated Baby Names
Do any other mums out there get mad when people shorten your baby's name?its hypenated for a reason!!Especially when you correct them but they dont take note!My partner and I could not agree on our final choice so we agreed to hypenate our daughters name and its so pretty but as he chose Lily and its the first of the two shes often gets called just Lily and it drives me crazy!

Im on the over side of the fence i chose harrison so that it could be shortened to harri with an I but certain people still spell it harry which really annoyes me, theres no Y in harrison!
I get annoyed when people tell me off for calling him harri. Silly me! i was under the immpression that i carried him for 9 months and gave birth to him....i must have been mistaken! lol

I know we call Cole coley sometimes but not all the bloody time! I am impressed by my restraint at not saying anything...but once he's starting to talk I'll put a stop to it. His name is Cole dammit - not Coley!
If any1 ever dared to call him Izzy I think i'd flip out tho!

Why would I call my little boy She???!!!!
My gp is the worst and I keep correcting him but he insists on calling out She over the tannoy
its sooooooooo annoying
I really loved these names though and thats why i picked them. didnt think outside the box xxx
Charlie may be ok once she's older (esp if she's a tomboy) but otherwise it will always be Charlotte.
I didnt with my son however as I wanted to use my grandads name which is George so that one cant really be shortened. My husbands name is charles but hates it and even his family call him chaz along with everyone else. I know him as Chaz and found it quite strange when we got married to call him Charles.

We picked his name as Dylan is a Welsh name (& as i was born in Wales i wanted that) & Thomas is my DH's middle name. We didn't realise however how many people comment on it being the same name as the poet though!!
If we'd had a girl she would be Lily-May, and prob would of shortened it to just Lily!! BUT people shouldn't just assume its ok to shorten someones name!
my friends little girl is laila-jane and i think thats lovely even though we all call her laila when she is older she can be laila or laila-jane.. her mum is sarah-jane and as she grew up she was sarah but when she started working and that she went by sarah-jane and we all call her sarah-jane!
so it is nice to have the choice.

I think Lily-Summer is a beautiful name xx
