Help[Opinions] Re: No nicknames, please!
in reply to a message by Lily
Well, I think when you get into singsongy pet name kinds of nicknames, any name can have them. In that case, Iris could be I or Irie or Rissy, Mara could be Mar or Marri (rhyming with Ari), and Audrey could be Audy or Rere or something. But, like Noey and Ezzie, they're not nicknames that are used as the primary way a person is addressed. I think there's a distinction there.

Hmm sure, I agree. Still it shows how you can butcher ANY name :) I actually think Ezzie for Ezra would happen. Or Ez.
Hmmm but really if we could've used any name that isn't used as the primary way a person is addressed we could have basically used anything except for names like Katherine, Michael and Elizabeth. You know what I mean? I mean most names don't have long established nicknames. Lily, Hannah, Jade, Amy, Ava, Sophia, Chloe etc but they still could end up as Lil, Hannie, Jadie, Aimz, Avy, Soph and Chlo.
I think the purpose of this thread was actually finding a name for which you can't think of any nicknames and it shows how it's pretty much impossible.
