Help[Opinions] Re: Nickname dream
in reply to a message by elysa
Isn't "nil" a slang way of saying "nothing."
Just because I like a challenge, names from which Nil could be derived:
Niall ("nile")
Nils ("neelz")
Cornelius
Nicholas
Nigel
Neville
Lionel
Nathaniel
Daniel / Danilo
By the way, I met a woman once whose nn was Nilly / Nillie. it was short for Nilofer (sp?), a Persian girl's name.

Nothing about slang in any of that.
It may be commonly used in the vernacular, but 'nil' is also used in place of none/nothing/zero etc in legal language and other very formal settings. It's not slang.
