HelpRe: When nicknames go bad
in reply to a message by Trina
Yeah, i agree. For a while, i loved the name Merrick. My neighbor is named Merrick, hes 6, and it often gets shortened to Mer. Which isn't that bad, but his little sisters are always calling him "Merry". After hearing that for a while, i started to dislike the name. I hope that nn doesn't last!

Yeah, Merry is not a great name for a boy! If it's only his siters calling him that, chances are he will get fed up with it before too long (or when he meets a girl named Mary) and tell them to quit it!
I once lived next door to a family who had a boy called Ben. Maybe it was Benjamin, but the always called him Ben. His little sister, however, called him Benny. Not so bad I guess, it just always sounded really funny to me. Maybe its too close to Penny or bunny.
