[Opinions] Re: What is wrong with nicknames?
in reply to a message by Ozma
I love nicknames. I came up with several for my daughter before she was even born and I'm always coming up with a new one every day. Despite not hearing her actual name that much she still responds to it at 4 months. lol.
I prefer a long formal name with lots of nickname possibilities so you can call them something different every day! lol. But they also have an elegant formal name to fall back on.
I know people who do both. I know an Elizabeth, Caitlin and Daniel who always go by their full name, and a Richard "Dick", Marjorie "Marjy", and Peter "Pete" who never go by their full names.
