[Opinions] Re: Names you like...but not the nickname
in reply to a message by Laurie
This is a hard list for me to make, since I love nicknames a great deal.
James...but not Jamie (I LOVE Jimmy, though!)
Philip...but not Phil (Flip is my favourite)
Lucasta...but not Luca (I like this one without a nn)
Winifred...but not Winnie (I like it best without a nn)
Gwendolyn...but not Gwen (her, I'd call Winnie)
Magnolia...but not Maggie (definitely Nola)
Suzanne...but not Suzie (Zanna!)
Harold...but not Harry (just plain Harold...maybe Hal)
Rosalind...but not Rosie (Raz)
Rosamunde...but not Rosie (Raz or Romy)
Ramona...but not Mona (I love Mona on its own, but I like Rona as a nn for Ramona)
Zacchaeus...but not Zach (Zach is grosser than gross)
Elenor(e)...but not Ellie (Lennie all the way!)
Leopold...but not Leo
Carole...but not Carrie (just Carole, or maybe Caro sometimes)
Arcadie...but not Cady
Honestly, I can't think of any others--I like nicknames far too much for this game, ha.
Array
"Phineas. That's an interesting name."
"Yeah. It's Latin for 'kick me'."
