Help[Opinions] Re: Standalone nicknames
in reply to a message by Tuesday
Well you know me. The only one I think can stand alone is Liam, and that's because it's so counter-intuitive as a nickname for William anyway.
Like what is the problem with putting a full name on a birth certificate and using a nickname? Everyone deserves a full name with a full etymology.
Oh, I remember when I was living in Texas. Some jerk woman whose first name was Terry published an opinion piece in The Dallas Morning News. She had just returned to Texas after spending several years in Connecticut. The point of the piece was how much better Texas is than the Northeast and how terble it was to have to live in Connecticut. One of the things she derided was that people in Connecticut would ask her if her full name was Theresa, (which it wasn't, it was Terry) and nobody in Texas would do that. Well I thought that said something about people in Connecticut vs people in Texas, but I thought it was quite the opposite of what she was saying.
