Help[Opinions] Re: Which nickname?
in reply to a message by Gracie
Bernadette Betty, Bertie, or Etta --I actually rather prefer the full name. I know a Bernadette about my age whose nickname is Bernie.
Ekaterina Katya or Katenka --To be completely honest, I love both equally and hypothetically if I ever had a daughter named Ekaterina I would use both nicknames interchangeably.
Georgiana Georgie or Gia --I tend to associate Gia with Gianna and Giovanna. I'm not particularly fond of any of the nicknames.
Katharine Kate, Kitty, or Kathy --Kate is timeless to me. I also like Katie and would use it interchangeably with Kate like my cousin does.
Magdalene Maggie or Lena --I'd use Lena for Magdalena, but not Magdalene.
Magnolia Maggie or Nola --I prefer Nola for Finola and related names. I prefer Magnolia without a nickname.
Minerva Minnie or Mina --I like Mina, but Minnie is spunky.
Winona Winnie or Nona --I have bad associations with a dog named Winnie, heh. I prefer Winona without a nickname.
Domingo Dom or Ding --Ding just doesn't sound good.
Frederick Fred or Fritz --Fred is more universal. I also like Freddie/Freddy. Fritz is a gp of mine though. :-)
Vincent Vince or Vinnie --Vinnie conjures up unpleasant associations somehow. I like the couple of Vinces that I have known.
