Ditto - except she was going to be Gael Alice Joyce. Joyce was DH's mum's name

and I thought if it was last before Moor, it would be a nice tribute to a lovely

lady who didn't live long enough to see us

married (instead of just living in 'sin').

said...... is now at school and his best friend calls him Tommy

ahhh, but there is nothing I can do.

My MIL hates the name (not the child mind you) and she never calls

him by it.

We have a , as well. I almost always call him , while DH calls

him Tommy. At work he is Tommy or Tom, and to friends is Tom. When someone

phones and asks for Tom, I always have to think, even though he is nearly

21!!

Schools up here ask what you\your child like to be known as; I always like

them to be called by their full name, as its a demarcation between home and

school. But people can't resist shortening Beatrice to Bea, which is one of

the things we call her at home.

What does your MIL call ?

She calls him Aiya, which is what Olivia called him at first she has now moved

onto Ander, MIL hasn't moved on nor forgiven us for giving him such an awful

name!

Oh Thank you - there is a Jonty at nursery and I could not work out

whether that was the proper name and also if " it " was a boy or a girl.

You have probably just solved that for me.
