[Opinions] Re: Liv
in reply to a message by Emily
Of course it isn't. Ray, Jay, Beau, Gia, Mia, Leah, Dora, Fern, Ivy, Amy, and so on aren't too insubstantial. Why in the world would Liv be?
For the record, I know a Liv my age, and the name suits her beautifully. It's certainly not insubstantial. I know that the current trend is towards long names and nicknames, but they're not as necessary as people seem to currently think. I remember reading a post on another names board where some woman was looking for a suitable "full name" for Amy, and I was really annoyed. If you want to call a little girl Amy, just do it. Don't search for a full name you don't care about so you can use a perfectly well-established name as a nickname.
This is something that's frustrating me lately, heh.
