Sure it does. When she gets older, she will take it to mean she's ugly, and it will crush her self-esteem.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

My daughter will be 7 in March, and I've called her Piglet since she was about 2 days old. When she was 4 years old, she told her father to stop calling her that, and told me and her 2 brothers (both older) that we can't call her anything else. She has NO self-esteem problems, and no problem with who she is or anything like that. So relax. Sarah won't be emotionally scarred if she has a nickname. (The caveat here is that if she requests you not call her that, you stop.)

Bryan's nickname is still Booger, or B, and he's fine with it too.
Obviously Piggy or Piglet is NOT something that her classmates get to call her, just what the immediate family can call her. Really. It's not a biggie. Save your energy.
