Re: nicknames as full names continuation
in reply to a message by BoiCrazii
I think you are over reacting having read the original thread I honestly can't see why you are being so hostile.
Your post stated that you dislike nn being used as full names but gave examples using names that are in themselves full names, you gave no indication on whether or not you knew they were full names that are often used as nn for other names, you say you hate nn as full names yet list several nn in your favorites list.
People are going to question your statement and put up their own views and arguments after all this is an opinion board and many people have different tastes and idea's when it comes to names.
Personally I prefer longer forms of names and really dislike the trend towards cutsey nicknamey names here in the UK names like Jack Jake Ellie Evie Archie Alfie Max Libby Liam Lola Tia Mia Tilly Demi Billy Joe Sam it is in fact becoming more common to see children with these names than names like Jonathan Joseph William.
Oh and only one poster out of 17 or so made a reference to the 1800 that I could see

Yes they are cute but to me that is the problem, on a four year old they are adorable but on a twenty four year old some look rather silly
