Help[Opinions] Re: Trying way too hard . . .
in reply to a message by Mum
Just name the girl Nikki then since you care more about the NN than the full name.
Edited to add this would be why my original post used the words clumsy and desperate -- when parents just have to use a NN and come up with something that makes everyone scratch their heads and go, huh? as a full name. I've heard of parents who felt Amy wasn't substantial enough on its own, so they wanted to use Amygdala just so they could call her Amy. Just use Amy or Nikki then and spare the rest of us. A NN should flow from a full name, not the other way around. (Or from an endearing trait unrelated to the name, etc., but not a full name from a NN.)
