Help[Opinions] Re: nicknames
in reply to a message by emilylauren
That's tough. I think it depends on how established the NNs are and if there are options for several NNs.
I love Samuel but dislike Sam , so I probably wouldn't use it because Sam is so obvious. On the other hand I would use Penelope even though I don't like Penny, because one could create loads of other NNs for her and tell people that she is called that and not Penny.
I hope that explains what I mean.
How about Jo for Josephine? I don't like Josie either. I think Pepita is pretty cool. Josephine is a lovely name, I don't think you should hesitate to use it. She could be called many things.
