[Opinions] Re: I don't guess I understand
in reply to a message by Yellow Rose
Sometimes NN aren't planned; they just happened. Also, it's not just about making the name shorter. It's about having a more familiar and less formal version of the name to use. I mean, Tommy is only one letter shorter than Thomas, and it has the same number of syllables. Rosie is longer in both syllables and letters than Rose. While "Denny" doesn't necessarily give off the same vibe as being a familiar and informal pet form of Aiden--again-- sometimes NN's just grow organically out of a name. I think it's fine.

I mean, except when it's completely ridiculous (Eric NN Odin? I don't think so.) It's perfectly fine in this case.
