Help[Opinions] Re: The importance of nicknames...
in reply to a message by LoQuiero
I'm definitely on the fence on this one. (I'm using boys names because that's all I had to think of when I had my son.) Some of the names I had on my list were William, Alexander, Nikolas, Benjamin, Michael, Micah, Zachery, Duncan, Deacon, Kenyon, Paxton & Murphy (these are the most obvious nickname-able names on my list).
Some of them I don't mind to have obvious nn's, suck as Benjamin, Zachery, Duncan, Deacon, Murphy. But William, Alexander, Nikolas, Michael, Micah, Kenyon & Paxton just seemed to be so whole that I didn't want to have to have a nn.
I would never name my child Michael or William, because I would only want them to be called that. On the same page, my name is Caitlin and my parents flat out refused to call me Cait or Caity or accept anyone calling me that (I now go by Cait).
I think it's a complicated issue and very personal.
