By this I mean which do you prefer? Would you rather name a child a nickname, a name that can have nicknames or a name where he/she doesn't have an automatic nn?
I don't think I would name a child a nn, but a name that can have nn's, with some exceptions of names that I like but wouldn't want to use a nn. Although I do like some name's that don't have nn's.
I would name a girl Lillian and Liliana and possibly call her by Lily. I would use names like Joshua, Samuel, Chrisopher, Jacob but call them by the nn's not the full names (unless they had done something really terrible lol).
I like the names Nataliya, Tatiyana, Frederik, Christian, Lucas and Gabriella but wouldn't call them by the nn's those names have.
I love the name Jack, which some people say is a nn for Jackson. I would rather use Jack over Jackson.
Edit/adding...forgot that Jack is a form/nn of John.
What about you?
