Help[Opinions] Re: List of Formal First Names w/ Good Nicknames!???
in reply to a message by NOM
I have a name that isn't commonly shortened and I always wished I had a name with a nickname. So I intentionally wanted to give my kids longer names with nicknames. They happen to be Benjamin and Margaret, actually. :) (Ben and Meg)
I'm not adamant that the next kid have a longer name with a short nickname, but some names I like that do fall into that category and have a more classic feel are:
Elizabeth "Beth"
Rosalie "Rosie"
Virginia or Genevieve "Ginny"
Annemarie "Nan"
Alexander "Alex"
Jonathan "Jon"
Theodore "Teddy"
William "Will"
Carly could be short for Charlotte, and Cali for Caroline.
