[Opinions] Leona
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
I really like Leona! It has a very soft touch to it.
Fiona has a nice sound, but it has become too popular in my opinion.
Leona Marguerite sounds fine. Marian is nice, but a little too masculine to me.
I'm not a fan of nicknames, but Leo makes sense. But on the other hand, it's quite masculine and therefore probably not the best choice. But again, I am not fond of purposely choosing a nickname (before a child is even born).

Haha you're like my husband with nn's. I on the other hand feel that nn's should be plentiful and that whichever she actually likes will be used or used the most.
I never had any nn's because my name doesn't lend itself easily to them. As a teenager I had a couple of nn's and they were chosen by myself and only used by one friend or on the internet.
Growing up I'd give my sister as many nn's as I could come up with. She hated some and loved others. The ones she hated I used to tease her. :P They were all used depending on my mood.

Haha, that's funny!
But I actually think it is not the child that decides on the nickname but the parents- and this is what I dislike about it. And it also doesn't make sense because why do you even give your child a name when you call him very different anyways?
If you really love a name and think it fits your child perfectly, you should name him or her that way. If there is some kind of nickname that comes to your mind once he or she is born, this is perfectly fine with me.
But I don't think that a nickname should be decided on before. A nickname is very personal and needs to really fit a person and their personality.

I agree!
like there's this YouTube channel I watch called Gardner Quad Squad, which of course is a family with quadruplets...lol anyway, their first-born quad is named Indie, and they started calling her Pie because she's so sweet. They also call one of the others, Evangeline, Heavy Evie for being the heaviest of the bunch! lol
