Astrid nn Austi
like/dislike: dislike
why: I really like different names, but this one just seems a little too out there - and I really don't like the nickname! SOunds like a wine!

---

Gwendolyn nn Gwen
like/dislike: Gwen I like, Gwendolyn I don't
why: its the whole "Gwendo" thing...it just doesn't sound very pretty to me.

---

Elizabeth nn Betty
like/dislike: love Elizabeth, hate Betty
why: Elizabeth is old fashioned but seems like one of those names that will never die, but Betty just sounds horrible - and there are so many other, prettier nicknames for Elizabeth.

---

Abigail nn Abby
like/dislike: like
why: its cute

---

Kate
like/dislike: its okay...
why: I would prefer it as a nickname to something like Katherine (it seems kind of short on its own) but its certainly not the worst name!

---

Felicity
like/dislike: HATE
why: I don't even know why, have just always hated this name

---

Sophie
like/dislike: like
why: cute, prefer Sophia

---

Gillian nn Gilly
like/dislike: LOVE
why: SOOO cute, love both names

---

Gemma
like/dislike: like
why: probably because I have known so many Gemma's that I really like...I prefer it spelt Jemma though.

---

Sarah
like/dislike: indifferent
why: I think its too plain. Its something that I would never use myself. I would steer clear of simple, plain names (at least for first names) like Sarah, Jane, Mary and yes, Kate. The only reason I would use Anne is for family reasons :)
