Help[Opinions] No nicknames, please!
A friend of mine hates nicknames and decided to name her son Luka because she believes that there are no nicknames for it (even though she preferred Ivan, but hates Ivo, Ivek, Ivica, Ivanec, Vanja...).
It got me thinking, what would you name your kids if you were going for a name that wouldn't have nicknames?
Rules:
-3 for each gender (not necessarily a sibest)
-names you would actually use in real life
-you can't use a diminutives as full names (for example Jack is ok, but not Johnny)
*feel free to comment on other people's responses if you spot a 'nicknamable' name
Mine:
BOY:
Ian
Gabriel (there is no Gabe in Croatia)
Sasha
GIRL:
Hope
Noa (changed from Poppy, because I forgot about it before)
Joy (Eva -just remembered the dreaded Evica, so I'm changing it)
-unfortunately it doesn't really work for most names in Croatia, since nicknames are often diminutives and you can make those with almost every name
