For one, if somones name is
Emily why would you want to have the nn
Mimi ?
Emily is short enough! And
Amelia , I have never heard of the nn
Mimi coming from
Amelia though I am sure it can happen! My real name is
Diana and people would try to nn me either Deedee or Di, though Princess Di is my fav! But where would you get Deedee from
Diana ? It isnt
Deana but my point is that nn dont have to come from what your first name is. I have a friend who calls me banana or banana peal, his little sister calls me
Dina and my husbands parent call me princess Di. And on here I use
Gia Nadine ... nn's are just that nn's. How else would you get
Dick from
Richard ? It isnt in there!
Gia
