[Opinions] Re: A few Nicknames. Opinions Please
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I think Penny is a pretty cute nn idea for Millicent. Mills is meh.
Aleydia "Lady" is sort of cool, but where I like Lady is very common as a dog name, so even if it was just a nickname I might find it odd on a human. Maybe.
I like Pae for Patience. Pebbles is sort of like Lady for me-- just a little too "pet".
I think Dilly is my favorite of these for Daffodil. Daffy is too Daffy Duck. Although Daf could work-- as in Daphne "Daph", or something.
I like Millian for Maximillian. It's so in-your-face "not Max" that it's kind of awesome. It also sounds namey- it rhymes with names like Killian and has a pretty common/namey syllable pattern.
Ruth and Rue both seem too girlish for Rufus, IMO. Maybe Ruf or Roo? (For some reason Rue looks girly to me but Roo doesn't).
