Help[Opinions] Re: Nickname names
in reply to a message by Rachel
Generally, I don't like them. To me Abby, Gabby, Jimmy, Mandi, Libby, Jake, Joey, etc are obvious abbreviated names. I consider them nicknames and too informal for a full name.
I think variants can stand alone. I don't consider Anya a nn, but a variant. Elise is a variant of Elisabeth, but it can stand alone. I think Jack can stand alone too, and I love Jack but hate John.
It's mostly preference, I suppose, but history/tradition is a large factor.
