HelpI believe in formal names, because it lets your child decide.
in reply to a message by molly22md
As for nicknames, it depends. My family is big into nicknames. My nephew Isaac was nicknamed Ikey/Ike. There I think its good it have a full-name, because Ikey/Ike is childish, while Isaac is grown-up. My niece, however, is named Mary Miranda, goes by Miranda,nn Mira. Everyone calls her Mira. Period. There, I think it would have been better for her to have been named Mira.
Also, names like Abby, Katie, Joey, etc have a very childish sound to them. People with those types of names are less likely to be taken seriously. With Abigail, Catherine and Joseph, however, you don't have that problem.
Names really affect a person, for the rest of their life. That's why it is so important to choose a name that people will take seriously, will grow with the child, and preferably one that isn't automatically classified as trashy, pompous or lower-class.
