Help[Opinions] Nicknames As First Names?
Are there any nicknames you wouldn't hesitate to use for your child's first name?
Personally, I love Edie, Bonnie, Romy, Nell, Tess & Polly for girls and Jake, Monty, Perry, Jack & Theo for boys.

Not really a fan, though in your list Perry and Polly feel like they are names in their own right by now. Likewise Kate and Lisa.

I have always been a fan of Long names so personally, this is not my cup of tea
I do like nicknames when they're paired with something or as a nickname for a longer name
however, Romi (or Romy) isn't considered a nickname where I am from because it means "My exaltation" or "my highness" (I just wanted to share this fact because I thought you would find it interesting)

I know an Ellie and Margot and I’ve always loved their names

I like Betsy, Jenny, Penny and Polly off the top of my head, but I'd always use Elizabeth, Jennifer, Penelope and, I suppose, Mary or Paula. If you have a full name, then that with a nn gives you two options - in the case of Elizabeth and Penelope, many more than two. But with a nn as your fn, you can't go around saying 'My name is Jenny; please call me Jennifer'.

I'm going based on what BTN has defined as "diminutives."
Girls: Angelina, Annika, Anya, Bella, Della, Elsa, Gwen, Janelle, Jodi, Kate, Kirstie, Liana, Megan, Natasha, Rosella, Roselle, Roxy, Trixie
Boys: Billy/Billie, Collin, Jamie, Jimmie, Max, Nicky, Rocky, Zeke
