[Opinions] Yes and No
in reply to a message by Ismene
Yes, to the first. If my partner loved it and I loved the nn, seems like a good compromise to me. I wouldn't use it if I really didn't like it, but if I didn't mind it that would work for me. I'd just always call her Rose.
No, I'd never use a name I didn't liked. I'd either use the nn as a full name, or give up on it, or be creative and try and come up with a new full name option if I didn't feel it could work alone. I love Emmy, but none of the full names work for me (I have a cousin Emily, so that makes things tricky!). And it's too nnamey for a full name IMO. Eventually I hit on EM initials, and as Elodie is one of my favourite girls names and it doesn't come with it's own workable nn, it's worked out parefectly. She'd be Elodie half the time and Emmy the other half.
All my kids will have nn's but will also be called by the full names alot. So I'd never use a full name I didn't like just to get a nn.
