Do you have any names where you love the full name, but hate the obvious nickname? Would you use the name anyway?
Mine are
Anthony (I hate
Tony)
Aurora (I hate
Rory)
Robert (I hate
Bob)
Amelia &
Amity (I hate
Amy)
Laurence (I hate
Larry)
I might use
Robert or
Laurence, because I'm not sure
Bob and
Larry would be givens, and they have other good nicknames (I like
Rob and
Lance). I just can't bring myself to seriously consider
Anthony or
Aurora though, because of the nicknames. I just couldn't stand it if my kid went by
Tony or
Rory. :P
