In Texas you can't put nicknames on your d.l. - and in fact, I had a hard time getting the legal name on my passport and Social Security card put on my driver's license. After my marriage I wanted my name to be Middle-name-I've-always-used Maiden-Name Last-name-of-my-husband. Nope - TX DPS wanted it to be First-name-I-never-use Maiden-Name Last-Name. Luckily, when I moved to TN they put the correct name on that license, and when I returned to TX they accepted the name on the TN license. I wasn't trying to pull anything - my passport (which I would have thought trumped everything else as an i.d.) was no problem to get changed.I just wanted the same legal name on everything.
Moral of the story - call your child by his/her first name.
