Apparently millennial moms do not appreciate a good nickname

Coaching my son's 8 yr old rec basketball team and started handing out a few well-deserved nicknames. Apparently, Goat's mother (approx age 34) (no pics) didn't appreciate his and complained to the park director. Meanwhile, Goat has been correcting kids who call him by his birth name.
Sleepy and Stump's parents are a bit older and dgaf.

Sounds like she's earning her own nickname.

Parents these days already select a catchy nickname before the kid is born. And it’s probably not Stumpy.

Nicknames were collateral damage in the 2000's culture wars. Part of the reason boys are so soft these days. My nickname growing up was Possum, except to my older brothers who called Pussy.

My kid's nicknames are tinky winky and mookie.

Best nicknames are the ones the enlisted military members give each other.

I've seen call signs change multiple times, at least among fighter pilots

A lot of people, especially in South Louisiana, still remember growing up in a time when silly nicknames could stick forever. It’s cute calling your 7 year-old “Pookie”, but it’s less cute when his name is Pookie Bergeron in the phone book at age 40. They might be afraid of their childhood nickname becoming their permanent name.

You want to piss a parent off? Start calling their 8 year old “frick face” and see how that goes.

I spoke at a men’s club once. They called roll using nicknames. The ex-Marine was Gomer. Almost wanted to join to get a nickname.

did you wipe the brass pole down before your routine?

My nicknames were booger and shithead, and that was just what my parents called me.

Well it did sound a bit funny.

My step kids found out I had an oil field name and began calling me that along with some other family members.
I didn't mind as a younger man but at my age now, it's sorta stupid.

I was able to do that with my students in a Catholic school in the 90s. But MAN, are parents uptight since. Both of my boys and my wife have always insisted that EVERYONE call them by their full given names. I can get away with shortened, but not any derivatives. And, no one else can.
I see it at my current job, too, where ANYONE named James is James, no Jim, no Jimmy, no Big Jim. JAMES. Same with guys named Stephen; no Steve, no Stevie, no SteveO, STEPHEN. The one shortened name that seems to be encouraged is a Brazilian guy named Vinicius and he will answer to Vini.

What!!!!!!!!
What kind of bitches are those parents?
Several kids get nicknames on my kids teams if they do something or act a certain way that just fits them.

No.
One is a telly tubby and the other evolved from shmookie-poo.
