Nicknames

Gavin has decided we should call Kierstin by her given name (Kierstin) rather that Kiki, because he's afraid she'll go to preschool and be confused if they call her Kierstin. I told him that she knows her name is Kierstin, but some people have nicknames and they go by those, sometimes they even become the main name they use. Garrett then chimed in with some kind of question about what constitutes a nickname. Gavin said, "Well, you know, sometimes people call me Gav." Garrett said, "Oh, yah, my nickname is Gar-bear.....(pause) or sometimes sweetie-pie."
