Help[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Nicknames ...
in reply to a message by Ciarda85
Illeana nn Lena - I like this a lot, although I'd probably use Leana (lee-AH-na) myself :-) I also like Ilse or Ilsa (both prn "ilsa", 'i' as in 'ill' and 's' as in 'Sam' not a 'z' sound).
Jocelyn - this is a difficult one to nickname as all of the spellings are taken for other sounds! Josie doesn't work for me (language difference I guess!).
Antonius nn Anton - nice
Brendan et al - nice :-)
Dominic - I love this name. Nika / Nica sound too feminine to me (I guess I associate them with Dominique, which I love for a girl). I'd use Dom, or Nick.
For myself, I probably won't plan nicknames for my kids' names (unless I'm using Kathleen deliberately to get Kate!) as my family has a history of rhymey nicknames given spontaneously.
:-)
edit - minor addition
