[Opinions] Nickname dream
I have had a few names dreams before. Sometimes I give people I know new names in my dreams. I had a dream about a friend once and in the dream he was called Nil. My sisters and I give all of our friends nicknames, so that has kind of become his new name. lolAfter calling him that for so long, the nickname Nil has really grown on me! What do you think of Nil? Can anyone think of a full name that would go well with that nickname?Thanks!

Isn't "nil" a slang way of saying "nothing." Just because I like a challenge, names from which Nil could be derived:Niall ("nile")
Nils ("neelz")
Cornelius
Nicholas
Nigel
Neville
Lionel
Nathaniel
Daniel / DaniloBy the way, I met a woman once whose nn was Nilly / Nillie. it was short for Nilofer (sp?), a Persian girl's name.

No, it is not.http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=nil&x=0&y=0Nothing about slang in any of that.It may be commonly used in the vernacular, but 'nil' is also used in place of none/nothing/zero etc in legal language and other very formal settings. It's not slang.
