Help[Opinions] Re: Wdyt of Ricky?
in reply to a message by hazelquinn
I grew up with a zillion Richards ... back then Ricky was a childish nickname, and all the kids who'd been Ricky were introducing themselves as Rick by the time they hit puberty. So I can't help thinking it sounds childish, or theatrical. But maybe it doesn't sound like that to kids who'd be his peers?
I don't think it's trashy to name him Ricky as a full name. It's a legit name just like Liam is legit. It's sort of deliberately casual, like using Vicky instead of Victoria, or Eddie instead of Edward, and I think people always say they perceive that as less "classy." But is also disarming. And it can also come off as statement, that you think you are too classy to be anxious about impressions of class. heh
