Re: When nicknames go bad
in reply to a message by Trina
actually...Dilly is getting, well, I am getting used to it.My friend always has to add the -e ending...and we have a friend Dylan, so he is Dilly. I thought it was bad at first, but it grows on me. Maybe because she is the only one. Whats worse to me? Calling our friend Walter, Wally. I think of Leave It To Beaver!Lowgy...I dont know...I dont like it

Yeah I think it does depend on what you're use to. I mean really, Dilly isn't THAT much different from say Billy. And yet to me Billy sounds fine and Dilly sounds ridiculous. Lowgy kind of reminds me of Yowgy (sp?) bear, so maybe thats why I find it kind of cute :)I have to admit that I actually have a tendency to add the E sound to the end of names myself! But thats why I always think of that when I'm looking at a name and if I don't like the sound of the possible nn it puts me off the whole name!
