Help[Opinions] Re: Nicknames
in reply to a message by myth
Audrey is a lovely name. :) My great-aunt Audrey always went by Audie. It's my favorite nickname, but I prefer Audrey in full.
I'm an Alison, and my family calls me Allie. I'm not vehemently anti nickname, but I don't use Allie outside the family circle, and I gave my son a name without nicknames. When I'm evaluating a name, its nicknames don't usually me love it more, but they often give me reasons to reject it. If I love a nickname enough to want it used all the time by everyone, I'd seriously consider just putting the nickname on the birth certificate.
