[Opinions] Re: Nickname as first name
in reply to a message by Jenna
No. Siri, while a nice name, would not age well at all. Nicknames as first names REALLLY bug me. The child will get asked 'oh, what's that short for' over and over, and has no formal name to use later in life. Most nicknames also seem very childish to me.
An example:
The Honorable Judge Lizzie Michelle Smith vs. The Honorable Judge Elizabeth Michelle Smith
Elizabeth Michelle sounds much more mature and competent.
