Help[Opinions] Re: nicknames that became names in their own right
in reply to a message by Murasaki
The only one on your list that I consider a name in its own right is Lisa.
All of the rest seem like nicknames to me, and I would only use them as such. I guess I am a purist when it comes to that.
I do not know why I consider Lisa differently, as I am aware it started out as a nickname for Elisabeth, but I do. There is no logic to it!
Lisa is the only name I can think of, though, that I consider as a full name in its own right, but which started out as a nickname.
