[Opinions] Re: Some Old-Fashioned Nicknames I Adore
in reply to a message by lac
Millie - love! very cute
Ellie - cute, but so played out recently
Nell - I love this as well, but Nelly makes me think of the rapper. Nell(e), however, is adorable.
Effie - for some reason this always makes me think of the f-word?? I love Evie (prn. Eeevie or EV-ie) which sound fairly similar.
Mamie - sounds like Marmie (this spelling isn't correct), which is what the girls in the book Little Women called their mom, so to me it sounds like a nn that a child would call their mother.
Maisie - sounds like a trendy name to me.
Minnie - I know someone whom we call "Mini" because she is tiny, so I think of her. It is cute, but I think most people would think of Minnie Mouse.
Fan / Fanny - ehh, not really my favorite. I love Francie as a nn for Frances (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)
Bridie - nrms, and I don't really know any other names it could be a nn for.
Nan - ok, but not my favorite.
