I dislike counter-intuitive nicknames but I know an Aaron who gets called Ron and an Aidan who gets called Dan. I actually don't mind these at all because even though the -ron in Aaron and -dan in Aidan don't sound like Dan and Ron the both of these names are included in the full names, completely. William nn Liam is similar.

I hate stuff like Persephone 'Poppy' or Elizabeth 'Lily'. Ugh. The funny thing is that some people who like Elizabeth 'Lily' (not here but in real life) told me Aidan 'Dan' and Mabel 'Bell' make no sense. Uhmmm yeah. I mean Aidan 'Dan' etc might not be the most logical nicknames but at least you can see where it is coming from which you can't at all with Elizabeth 'Lily' (yeah, I know, the LI is there but that isn't nearly enough. It's like Alexandra nn Andrea or something).
