[Opinions] Re: New nickname
I think such a nn is fine becaue it's unique and meaningful and comes from the person's personality,quirks,place in the family,whatever.It's more organic. With the caveat that the person with the nn is happy with it and that it's an appropiate nn to use outside the family then I don't see why such a nickname shouldn't be used in everyday life.Example, my aunt called me "Sheba" when I was young which would have been fine to use in school,etc. if I had chosen to do so(would have raised a lot of eyebrows where I grew up though.) My father called me "Snooks" - not so good to be called in school.A friend of mine called her son Anthony Edward and he goes by Teddy. I think it's a cute name and would do a teenager or grown man. I love Noah as well,incidently.
