This is a hard list for me to make, since I love nicknames a great deal.
James...but not
Jamie (I
LOVE Jimmy, though!)
Philip...but not
Phil (
Flip is my favourite)
Lucasta...but not
Luca (I like this one without a nn)
Winifred...but not
Winnie (I like it best without a nn)
Gwendolyn...but not
Gwen (her, I'd call
Winnie)
Magnolia...but not
Maggie (definitely
Nola)
Suzanne...but not
Suzie (Zanna!)
Harold...but not
Harry (just plain Harold...maybe
Hal)
Rosalind...but not
Rosie (Raz)
Rosamunde...but not
Rosie (Raz or
Romy)
Ramona...but not
Mona (I love
Mona on its own, but I like
Rona as a nn for
Ramona)
Zacchaeus...but not
Zach (
Zach is grosser than gross)
Elenor(e)...but not
Ellie (
Lennie all the way!)
Leopold...but not
LeoCarole...but not
Carrie (just
Carole, or maybe Caro sometimes)
Arcadie...but not Cady
Honestly, I can't think of any others--I like nicknames far too much for this game, ha.
