Re: The nicknames that work by themselves.
in reply to a message by Mie
I dont think there are any nn that I feel work on thier own. I much prefer the full name and if you must, use the nn. However, this mainly is because I am sick of hearing nn for such classic names. As in, I much prefer Joseph to Joe, Nicholas to Nick, Michael to Mike, Andrew to Andy or Drew, Timothy to Tim, William to Will or Liam. I like the full names better, especially if its popular.
