She's involved with balls more than you know "dad". You don't even know her nickname. Go back to work and leave the parenting to your wife. Hopefully she can coach her up, not that you'd know.
Your wife is the new, I don't want to be a mom, I want to be your cool friend, mom. Your wife then goes and usurped your role and kept you out of the loop.
I am glad both my daughters who became very successful professionals would never allow others to nickname them anything like balls. They were leaders with too much self respect to allow that. You just to have a discussion first with your wife and then both of you with your daughter. Not to punish or lecture her, but to let her understand that a nickname that you embrace makes an impression to others about you. That is important.
What do you think teenage boys would think about a girl named balls?
What do you think your friends parents and teachers would think about a girl called balls?
What about future employers?
Do you really want to be that girl in school everyone calls balls?
Is that the message about yourself that you want to tell everyone?
A girl being called balls by everyone is pretty funny unless its your daughter and you respect and love her.
Your question was whether you have a right to be uncomfortable with that. Yes you do.
