[Opinions] Re: The nicknames that work by themselves.
in reply to a message by Mie
There are a few, although I generally prefer using more formal names for birth certificates. My rule of thumb is whether or not a professional woman/man would feel comfortable with the name.Lucy, Amy, Nora, Lena, Nancy, Molly, Lara, Katia/Katya, Anya, Natasha, Nadia, Tania/Tanya, Jack, Frank, Max, Luke.Then there are all of the female names with diminutive suffixes like "-ette," "-een." I think they have been used so much that they have become names in their own right.
