[Opinions] Re: Enzian
Because Leo has been a full first name since the 5th century at least, and Enzo... Lol. Because up until just now (when I actually clicked "Enzo" in the blue) I thought it was only a nickname of Lorenzo. Someone told me that and I just believed them! But here it's like they're not really sure where it comes from and only recently it's been a nickname...So Enzo as a full name, suddenly no problem ^_^"
I just really don't like nicknames as full names, is all.I like Tenzin, Emerens and Mackenzie from this list, but Enzo as a nickname for them is kind of a stretch.Leo Alexander - b. 2012Maeve Luna & Tamsin Rose - b. 2014

A stretch? Really? Unusual, perhaps...but not that much of a stretch.

I guess it's a matter of opinion. I tend to prefer nicknames where the link is more obvious. Like the kind of nicknames where you don't have to explain them. Like Benjamin is usually Ben or Benji, but if were a Benjamin nn Jamie you'd have to tell people. It's not automatic. Emerens wouldn't automatically be Enzo and neither would Mackenzie or Tenzin. You'd have to explain them all.
I'm really starting to like Emerens though :)
