HelpRe: Nicknames for the names I'm planning to use, WDYT?
in reply to a message by Nobody
Well... I won't say "stupid." :-) But I will tell you when I don't like them.
Isis 'Ice': Not a fan. It's too much of a friend-ish casual nickname, kind of like something you'd yell at someone to get their attention.
Freya 'Rae': It works, and I think Rae is cute, but Freya doesn't warrant a nickname, IMO. It's short and not at all complicated. For consistency's sake I'd go with Rey, if anything.
Ophelia 'Lia' or 'Phebe': Lia, sure. Phebe, no; it's too much of a stretch to draw on that particular sound that isn't there. Fifi makes more sense to me, though it's definitely not my thing.
Indiana 'Indy' 'Anna': I can see Indy, obviously, but I don't care for it. Then again I don't care for Indiana as a whole. :-) I'd rather see Annie than Anna. Anna is too "whole" to me, but Annie is something I associate with a nickname. If I had to pick a nickname for Indiana I'd go with Didi.
Aurelia 'Aura' 'Rae' 'Lia': I'm fairly equally neutral on them all. All feasible, nothing very unattractive. I like Rae most between them.
Beatrix 'Bee' or 'Trixie': I'd go with the 'bee' sound but the spelling Bea. I guess Trixie is an option, but I really don't like it. :-/ Too... something. Too fictional, too reminiscent of a cereal, too glitter and sparkles, or something.
Constance 'Connie': Aw, I love Connie. I could see Stacy as a nickname, too, even though it doesn't include the second N.
Bellona 'Bella' or 'Ella': I 100% don't like Bella and Ella. I'm sick to death of both of them. :-/ I'd like Lona very much, though.
Leonora 'Leona': Leona's too much of a full name for me to like it as a nickname. I'd opt for Nora instead.
Alright, maybe I'll come back for the guys' names later. :-)
