Help[Opinions] Re: Do you like using nicknames?
in reply to a message by Lily8
1 My full name is Giovanna and I am either called Gianna (two syllables with a j sound) or Gia.
As for the names that I think I would like to give to future children, they all have nicknames: Charles nn Charlie, Wesley nn Wes, Angela nn Angie, Barbara nn Babs, Francesco nn Frankie, Massimo nn Mo, Raffaella nn Relle, Bernadetta nn Betty.
2 I like my nicknames because they're what I tell people to call me. I chose them. It is annoying when people say Gianna with three syllables and no j sound, but it generally helps when I tell people that it's John with an -ah at the end.
3 I try to go for names where I like both the full name and the nickname.
4 I think that as long as they are introduced by their nickname, they'll be fine. I wouldn't like it if Charles was Chaz, Barbara was Barbie and Bernadetta was Bernie, but I don't think that it would be too big of an issue to solve.
5 To me, giving nicknames as full names counts as being a stupid parent.
