[Opinions] Re: Names you like, but don't like the common nickname?
I have this problem sometimes.I like Jonathan but not John or Johnny.
I like Barnaby but I would never want him to be called Barnie.
I like Benjamin but I don't really like Ben. I prefer Benji or Jamie.
I like James but not Jim or Jimmy, only Jamie or Jem.
I like Madeleine but not Maddy.
I like Valerie but not Val.
I like Vincent but not Vinnie. Vin is okay.

I love Madeleine, but I dislike Maddy as well. I'd stick with Madeleine as a middle name for that reason.

I like Jem too!Agreed on Barnie and Vinnie. Vince is much better than Vinnie.
