Help[Opinions] Re: Nickname Wanted!!!!!
in reply to a message by Mystic
I would not want to have everyone calling me "Ireland" all of the time.
^ If that's the case, then naming your daughter Ireland in the first place would be pretty questionable. Honestly, I think Ireland is a daft name. It would be OK if it were just another place name as a given name, but it's not: it has so much silly baggage. It screams of an American who has never been there but is jumping on the trendy bandwagon of loving all things "Celtic", despite not knowing what / where that term actually refers to. (It does not mean "Irish and Scottish" and it does not encompass creations such as Brynnalee and Kaydenn.) I'm fairly sure you'll find me rude, but given your outburst below, I don't think you can complain on that point.
In answer to your question, I suppose I suggest "Ire" or "Landie".
