HelpRe: NICKNAMES
in reply to a message by molly22md
Hmm I used to think like that. But now I can see the benefit of having a more formal name on some occasions. Like my aunt said when she was naming my cousin, "I'm going to call his Charlie, but Charles will go on his birth certificate in case he becomes a lawyer or something".

God, that's awfully stereotypical.

Hmm I wasn't meaning to be stereotypical, of course anyone can have any name, but certainly some names would sound a bit silly in some situations. For example, my friend Caroline always, always goes by Caz, but what if, say, she received a knighthood one day and became "Dame"? Dame Caz just isn't right, whereas Dame Caroline is OK
