Help[Opinions] Re: Long vs. Short
in reply to a message by Solveig
When it comes to girls names, I'm a bit all over the place!
In my top 10, I have 4 names with 2-syllables, 3 names with 3-syllables, 2 with just 1 syllable and 1 with 4-syllables!
I like Gwen, Naomi and Genevieve (though I'd probably have to shorten Genevieve to Eve).
I typically shorten most names, that's just who I am as a person, I never realised how bad it was until I became a teacher and now I shorten Sophie to Soph and Kodi to Kode!
That being said, my top girls name Octavia I like without a nickname - but I think that's mostly because there's not a natural one that slips off that tongue.
I went to school with a Miriam who never got a nickname though I have heard of Miriams becoming "Mimi"

^Top 2 = Alexei / Luka and Cressida ~~ Bottom 2 = Courage and Indiana (m)
