[Opinions] Re: Nicknames as full names
Most nicknames/shortened names actually. It really, really, really annoys me when people love a nickname but desperately try to find a full name for it. I don't see the point. If you love, I don't know, Allie, and that's the only name you ever plan on using for your child, then just call her Allie! The argument for using a longer "full" name is often that at least the child will have a full name to fall back on, but I don't buy that. If Allie is just Allie or happens to have Alexandra on her birth certificate makes no difference what so ever, in my opinion.
Okay, end of rant. Alec and Ned are two nicknames that I love.
Alex and Charlie are two nicknames that I hate.


* Ellen * Astrid * Eira * August * Isidore * Emmanuel *
but she wants to be sure 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
