Help[Opinions] Re: It seems to be celebrity baby day today....Another one.
in reply to a message by Lizzie_Jay (different Comp)
I know, and I was saying that why use a longer name...any longer name...if the parents hate the name? Whether it is Samantha, or Samara, etc. it doesn't matter if it isn't liked as much as Sam.

And i agree, they should call their baby the name they like best...
It doesn't invalidate our opinion that a longer "formal" name would be nicer, with "Sam" as a nickname.
Some people like formal names with nicknames, others don't see the point. I personally am glad i was named Elizabeth, not just Liz. It gives me more options and allows for differing degrees of formality when dealing with work people and with friends & family.

I agree.

Oh no, I am not saying that formal names are bad, I just was meaning that in the particular case of Tiger Woods daughter it just probably made sense for them to use Sam and not a longer formal name. I guess I just don't like it when some people (this isn't including you necessarily) say there MUST be a formal name, not just a nn. I do agree with you though when you say many names would be better with a longer more formal name.
