Nickname for daycare

WasNotWas

Tyler has a Taylor in his class, so his teachers were kind of leaning in me to ok a nickname (they are very strict about only calling kids what parents want them to be called)

Which nickname should carry him to elementary school!

It was tie between Ty and Beau for me. 
Ultimately I chose Beau, just because it's different. 

And Jax thinks it's in the south so it would stick

I like Ty, it's DH's nickname. That or his initials TC.

I picked Ty, but I think it's because that's how you've always referred to him here. I love Teddie, but it might be tough when he's a teenager. Although that reminds me of Little Women, and I love that!

I am not a fan of nicknames. I feel if you want to name your kid Ty you would have named him that. So I voted for Tyler. But, as he gets older his friends will more than likely give him one.

Have you considered Terminator?

I'm not a fan of nicknames either. I love the name Tyler but if I had to come up with a nickname then I'd go with Ty. I only tolerate my nickname Colie or Cole because a lot of the kids in my family couldn't pronounce Nicole lol and it's just sort of stuck. My mom calls me Colie now

I love the name Tyler and Ty for short. Solid nickname that he could be called for years

@WasNotWas‌, if you call him "Ty" sometimes than that's fine- which I think you do pretty often. Otherwise, tell them to suck it up. Tyler is not Taylor and vice versa.

This. If you are cool with Ty, then that's fine, but I don't feel like they should force the issue if you want him to go by Tyler.

I voted Beau, because I also love that name! It's #1 on my list if we have a boy. But really, Ty makes the most sense probably, and is the one most likely to stick. But if you love Beau, I would totally try it!!

I picked Tyler, it's his name. I'm not a huge fan of nicknames anyway. I think if a kid is old enough to want to go by a nickname (in this case Ty) that should be his choice, or if you already call him a nickname from day 1 that's fine.
I'm not sure I'd choose a nickname because daycare hinted at it though.

Well, both of his teachers put in their two weeks today, so I'm just gonna make sure to get in good with the new teachers so they like Tyler better than Taylor I'm actually happy they are leaving because they weren't thrilled Ty isn't walking yet which annoyed me

@wasnotwas Abby isn't walking or even standing yet despite months of cruising. Daycare hasn't said a word to me about it. I'm surprised your daycare thinks they need to have an opinion on it! That would annoy me too!

Right? I'm like, he's fine, leave him alone. They say almost every day that they "practice"...today is their last day and I had a conversation with the director about everything, I like the replacement teachers a lot and made sure that they know we want to just let him develop in his own time

@wasnotwas we were at the pool a little while ago and another mother (stranger) said something about A walking. I said that she actually didn't know how to walk yet. She replied "she will walk soon, don't worry Mama!" I made no reference to being worried, but when she said that it made me a little worried, you know? People need to MYOB.
