[Opinions] Re: Nicknames or full names?
in reply to a message by space cadet
For the most part I try to pick names where they don't have an immediate nickname. I rather dislike nicknames being used all the time, especially when the nickname is so comon and the full name so nice! :)
On my boys list I've opted to use Max and Jack as formal first names because I like them better than Maxwell and Jackson/John since they would be what called those all the time I'd rather name them what is usualy considered the nickname instead of the formal name.
I don't mind an occasional nickname but I'd rather nicknames be more of an affectionate family thing. I've chosen names like Amy, Julia, Marjorie (nn could be Marjie or Jorie), Ciaran, Aidan & Simon.
