Help[Opinions] Re: Nicknames for Heather
in reply to a message by queenv
Not arguing, really, but I think that particularly for male names, lots of two-syllable names have nicknames.
Robert = Bob
Clinton = Clint
William = Bill, Will, etc.
Thomas = Tom
Jacob = Jake
Michael = Mike
Albert, Alvin, Alan, etc. = Al
Andrew = Andy or Drew
Matthew = Matt
Even my son Travis often is called Trav. Well, I could go on and on. Although, as I think someone noted recently, young boys now seem to use their full names. In the past, this wasn't as true as today. Think of how many middle-aged and older men that are called Bob, Bill, Tom, Mike, blah blah blah.
Maybe it isn't as true for female names, though....
