Help[Opinions] Re: Bestie BA
in reply to a message by Ismene
Another thing that's weird about it is I can't think of many names it would be a nickname for. Like, with Lauren, you'd probably not emphasize the "Ren" part. So it doesn't seem like a meaty part of a name to riff off of and turn into a spunky little nickname. It's like undercooked toast: not toast, not bread, not really workable. I think this perspective would change if I knew a Renny.
I like Joy, and think it goes well.

Yeah I mean I get it as a nickname. I’ve entertained Kathryn “Ryn” myself and I know that’s odd but I’d never use Ryn on its own. I think I just expected her to pick something sort of classic and popular but not super trendy, like Phoebe or Scarlet (or Wren) or something so the nicknamey feel of Renny threw me for a loop.
I definitely don’t hate it (see Kathryn “Ryn”) I’m just having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
