Help[Opinions] Re: Do you like using nicknames?
in reply to a message by Lily8
1. Do you have a nickname? Do you use nicknames for your kids? What are they?
- I have neither a nickname or a kid on which to bestow one. I always wanted one, though. :[ Unfortunately, there isn't much you can get out of Sarah, and few who feel like doing so anyway.
2. Do you like your nickname or does it annoy you when people call you Nicky though you prefer to go by Nicole (random example)?
- N/A
3. Is it important to you that the name you give your child has a nice nickname or do you prefer no nickname names?
- It doesn't matter. I imagine it would be nice to have the option of going by a nickname, but I hardly see it as necessary. A few names though, like Margaret, I like more because of the nickname possibilities. But that doesn't mean I would use it just for that.
4. Or are you scared that people might call your kid a nickname you dislike (e.g. you love Alexandria but are worried she'll become Alex)?
Nope. You can always correct them, until the child is old enough to decide on their own what they want to be called.
5. What do you think of nickname names as full names, e.g. Alfie, Sam, Joey, Jake, Jack, Billie, Janie, Katie, Kate? Does it depend on the name e.g. Kate is ok on its own, so is Jack but Katie and Joey are too cutesy?
- I don't really like it too much. For some reason I always want to use Kate and Beth as middle names, though.... I'd never actually use them, though. Kate and Beth and such names, while not being cutesy, seem a little incomplete as stand alones. The others, Katie, janie, Billy, Joey, etc., are entirely too cutesy. :\
