Help[Opinions] Nickname article & questions
http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2014/3/the-nickname-trap-how-popular-is-your-name-really
What are your thoughts on groups of names with the same nickname?
What is the purpose of a nickname in your opinion? Is it the purpose of nicknames to set people apart? Like, was "Kate" originally used to set oneself apart from all the other Katherines? Or is its sole purpose to be a short thing people can call you more easily because it has less syllables? Or something for your friends and family to call you that sounds more familiar, while other people can use your full name to sound more professional?
Would you give your kid a name you loved even if it had a very boring, common, or ugly-sounding nickname?
