Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts? Non-traditional nickname for Francis.
in reply to a message by pangurban
I was going to say ... Ciska? But just now (nearly an hour alter) realized you probably meant Ciska as something short for Franciska? I've never met anybody in real life named Finn, but have seen quite a few people either with the name or who have children named Finn.
I was looking at Finn being more of a nickname for childhood/school and he would have the choice on what he'd rather be called once he became older. I just couldn't see calling a three month old Francis all the time. I'd start feeling like a Boston Brahmin!
I was hoping others didn't see it as too far of a jump, I once met someone with the nickname Frank for Frederick. Also there's nicknames out there like Bill for William and Bob for Robert even though they have similar sounds where did the B's come from, right? Or even Dick for Richard so I don't see how Finn for Francis is too bad. I just wanted to see what others thought.
Thank you so much for your input, also Francis Finn is adorable but I'm not a big fan of alliterative and I know it might be seen even worse by people I know than the nickname situation (not that I really care, but since I'm not head over heels with it I know it probably wouldn't work.) Great suggestion though! :P
