[Opinions] Re: Bessie
Is this more of a British trend? In the US all of those are considered nicknames and usually wouldn’t be used as full names. It’s also rare to find them on people under about age 80 or so.*previously posted as summitseeker*

I think it's very much a British trend.I must admit, some of them I'm not fond of. When the mother of Nellie, first introduced her name, I had to clench my teeth before responding. Nell is beautiful, but Nellie just doesn't do it for me. The only other Nellie I know, is actually over 80!
