[Opinions] Re: Nicknames
Addison "Addie" - not many other options there.
Alcyone "Aly" - I'd shorten it to Cy. I think it's most natural to use the stress syllable in nicknames.
Carolina "Lina" - Yes; if it's pronounced like the state, though, I'd prefer Carly.
Celia "Lia" - that seems very contrived. Cece, Celi prn. like sealy
Clytia "Tia" - eh, I'd say Clia "clee-a"
Elizabeth "Lizzy", "Beth" - I like Liz or Ellie
Isabelle "Belle", "Izzy" - I prefer Izzy but Belle is ok
Jamillah "Jami" - Jammy? eh. How about dropping the ja- and just using Millah "mee-la"
Katharyn "Kathy", "Ryn" - Kat, Kath, Kathy, Kate all seem natural. Ryn does not
Keara "Ari" - I know it's the stressed syllable but that seems contrived to me. I don't think Keara needs a nickname but I think Kiki would probably happen if anything did.
Keelin "Lin", "Keely" - Keelin doesn't need or want a nick
Marisela "Mari", "Sella" - I love Marisela / Maricela. Mari would be the best nick
Marlene "Mari" - doesn't need a nick but Mari is ok, or Leni if it's prn like Dietrich
Maurine "Rina" - nice
Ocean "Ani" - srsly you think Ocean would get a nickname? Hm. I can't think of any that are good. Maybe Ozzie.
Osanna "Anna" - maybe Annie
Rebekka "Bekka" - good
Stephanie "Steph" - yeah. Stefi
Valkyrie "Kyrie" - no... Val or Vallie
Willow "Will" - yuck, but w/e. Willow does not need a nickname. Lola could work though, if she hated the name Willow the way I do, and a nick was wanted.

Really?Nothing with what they said is wrong. I asked for everyone's own opinion, and that is what they did. So if you want to use rude language then go somewhere else please.

What?!My problems with this post:1.) Same number as mine. Someone in my building wrote this!!
2.) It was rude and the punctuation ill-advised.
3.) If you go to the name opinion boards, you're expected to give your opinion. No handholding here, it is pointless.
4.) Troll?
