[Opinions] Re: Sally - and some question regarding nickname names
in reply to a message by Lily
Sally and Max are the only ones that work as full names for me, and Sally's still kind of cutesy. I really don't like the idea of giving a child a nickname as a full name, I do think it's better to have a more serious name for official situations, and leave the child the choice.

I agree with all of this. It's definitely better to use a full name rather than a nickname. Penny is especially childish. suggestions:
Jessie - Jesenia, Jesperine,
Penny - Penelope, Peninnah,
Sam - I've heard of Simon's going by Sam. Also Samir, or Salamon.
Sally - Salma, Salome, Salvatrice
