[Opinions] Re: Fanny and Dick (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
It's usable in parts of Canada at least. I know a photographer named Fanny. I also know plenty of Stephanies and Françoises who go by Fanny.
I've considered naming a daughter Stephanie nn Fanny. I think it's so cute. I do hesitate though because what if she wants to visit the UK, Australia, New Zealand, or another country where it means something bad? I'd rather avoid that.
Dick is totally unusable. It's ok on older men, but I can't imagine a little boy named that or nicknamed that. He'd definitely be teased. In school, there was this sexist boy who was a total jerk, and everyone called him Dick instead of Richard as an insult.
