Help[Opinions] Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?
There are several girls names that I love, but I hate all of the nicknames for. I'm kind of afraid to use them because I don't want people shortening them (unless of course she wanted to be called that when she's old enough to decide so). I'm afraid if I use a name like Jacqueline, people are going to call her Jackie even if I try to correct them. Maybe I'm being stuffy, but here are a few examples:
Samantha- I love it, but I dislike Sam and Sammie after growing up with so many.
Jacqueline- Hate Jackie and Linnie.
Catherine- Not a fan or any of the Cathy/ Kate/ Katie variants.
Madeline- Don't love the idea of Maddie, I think it sounds a little bratty. (no rhyme intended)
Caroline- I like Carrie, but not as a nickname. Don't like Lina either.
Genevieve- I guess Gen/ Gennie isn't so bad, but Genevieve is too pretty to not use.
Nicolette- Absolutely detest Nikki.
Gabrielle- Don't like Gabby... I know too many I don't like.
Seraphina- She couldn't be called Sera because it's too close to my name, but Fi isn't bad. I'm afraid she'll be called Sera though.
WDYT? If I don't like the nn, should I just rule these names out completely? Would you? Any names you hate the nicknames for?
