My daughter is 6 years old and a first grade student. At school the children tease her for her name. It’s a Russian name, not too common. It’s fine since we are from Russia but the name is seen as a “babushka” name now. Old fashioned.
Her name is Iraida. That was my late aunt’s name and I wanted to honor her. It’s been one of my favourite names for a long time.
She goes by the nickname Ira, which is typically a nickname for Irina in Russian. She keeps telling me how people tease her for her name on the playground. She says that she wants to be called Irina. However if we were to change her name she would be the 5th Irina in her class. What do you think?
