My niece and nephew are being raised semi bilingually and they were happy to accept things could have multiple names before age 2 IIRC. The youngest only just turned 2.5 and can happily flick between Chinese and English (though has a bias towards English because that's what she hears more by a big margin)

Will be interesting how my future kids will be as they will be pretty much exactly 50:50.



My daughter is bilingual too. I wonder if that has something to do with it.
