Well, no, I wouldn't love my child any less. But depending on how likely I thought the nickname Randy might be, it could make me avoid using the name altogether.

But that's not something you have absolute control over, I realize. My stepmother's name was Melinda, but she chose to have everyone call her Biggs (her mother refused to do so) and I work with a Janel who has everyone call her Yaya.
