Help[Opinions] Do you like using nicknames?
Just wondering whether you're a nickname person or not. I have friends named Elisabeth and Alexandra who always go by Betty and Alex and have never been called by their full names since they were born. Until they met me :P I always call them Elisabeth and Alexandra. I guess I'm not a big nickname person. They hated it at first but Alex actually likes being called Alexandra better now. She got used to it. I still have to convince Elisabeth :P I also knew an Agathe who went by Aggie but I always called her Agathe and a Daniela who went by Dany but I always called her Daniela. I also know a Jenny. It's her full name but I call her Jennifer when I'm angry with her.
I guess I like long names and not using a nickname for them. I plan on using Alexandria in its full form.
There are some nicknames I like, though. I like Zippy for Zipporah and Ada for Adelaida (which is because I love both names and want to use both of them). I also like Jessie for Jessamine and on its own.
1. Do you have a nickname? Do you use nicknames for your kids? What are they?
2. Do you like your nickname or does it annoy you when people call you Nicky though you prefer to go by Nicole (random example)?
3. Is it important to you that the name you give your child has a nice nickname or do you prefer no nickname names?
4. Or are you scared that people might call your kid a nickname you dislike (e.g. you love Alexandria but are worried she'll become Alex)?
5. What do you think of nickname names as full names, e.g. Alfie, Sam, Joey, Jake, Jack, Billie, Janie, Katie, Kate? Does it depend on the name e.g. Kate is ok on its own, so is Jack but Katie and Joey are too cutesy?
