[Opinions] Re: Acceptable nicknames for horrible names
in reply to a message by curiouslystrong
Once in Sabrina Fair's BAs there was a kid named Tyrant. I wonder what he could go by. Tyrone perhaps? Ryan? I think some people might as well change their name altogether.
Btw: Montserrat doesn't really fit in your list. While of course some people might consider it ugly, but otherwise it's a perfectly legit name and very comon in Catalonia, so it's not anything remotely weird.

See, Montserrat I quite like the sound of. It is a legit name, yes, but in the US it's nothing close to common. I imagine if I went to school with someone named "Montserrat" she wouldn't be too keen on being called by her full name all the time, and it does seem like a name kids would tease about. I put "horrible" in the title of my post and then it became more "names that a kid really needs a nn for in order to get by" but that's a bit much to say so I just left the title of my post the way it was. But anyway, I don't consider "Monserrat" horrible or non-legit, I just think she needs a nickname.
