One parent one name?  (28 Posts) Educateme Tue 25-Jun-13
08:01:17  Posting here rather than in baby names for the
firsthand experience.  We are planning to OPOL. Was just
wondering about names. Both sets of grandparents and friends in
respective countries are monolingual, and would struggle with a
'foreign' name. I was wondering if anyone in reality uses
variants of the same name for their child, for example Carlos
and Charlie? Or does something different?   TanteRose Tue

there are loads of "international" names out there smile  using
variants of the name depending on who you are with sounds a bit
mad to me  TheBirdsFellDownToDingADong Tue 25-Jun-13 08:04:44
They would not struggle.  One child one name. The grandparents
can deal with it.  Both our sets of grandparents are monolingual
and dd has an English name. (Granny-Italy spluttered a bit but
only because she thought we were going to name dd after her.
