Help[Opinions] nicknames as full names continuation
all those who commented assumed i had no idea that Luke and John were actually full names. i do. i just prefer if the child is given the longer name (WHETHER THAT IS WHERE THE NAME CAME FROM OR NOT) so they have more options as a nickname. if someone is given the name John, they cant be called much except John, Johnny, etc. but, if they are given the name Jonathan or Johannes, they have other options.
also, most of you made references to the 1800's. i dont know if you noticed, but we dont live in the 1800's. we live in the 21st century. in this day and age, it is much more common for someone to be named Jonathan and Lucas instead of John and Luke. i dont care what they did two hundred years ago, i was referring to my own time.
