Re: The nicknames that work by themselves.
in reply to a message by Mie
I think some nns do work on their own, often because they're different from the name itself and often because people are very used to just hearing the nn. Some I can think of off-hand:
Frank
Jake
Jack
Harry
Gene
Tracy / Tracey
Stacy / Stacey
Sadie
Molly
Polly
Dora
Judy
Kate / Cate
Nancy
Marcy / Marcie
Nell / Nelle
Nora / Norah
Sally
Lori
Jill
Tanya
Moste -ette names: Suzette, Jeanette, etc.
