So I was just reading at the Dublin quads post...I looked at the name "Princess," and couldn't help thinking, "I can't imagine actually insisting that people call me 'Princess' my whole life...so what would you actually go by with a name like that?!"

So what would you actually go by with a name like Princess? Or Chardonnay or Miracle or Cincere? It doesn't necessarily have to be a trashy name, though - it could be something like D'Artagnon, which is a bit of a mouthful. These are just examples, though - I'm just curious how one might rescue names like that with nicknames.

Appologies if you like Princess, Chardonnay, Miracle, or Cincere and I have somehow offended you. And I don't necessarily think all of the following names are "horrible" (I'm even somewhat fond of one or two)...some of them I just think are too long or might be teasing bait...but anwyay, here's my list of nns:

---

Chardonnay - "Donna"
Cincere - "Cindy"
Gossamer - "Sam"
Miracle - "Mira"
Montserrat - "Sara"
Pleiades - "Leah" or "Leia"
Princess - "Rin"
Shenandoah - "Anna"

---

D'Artagnon - "Art" or "Tan"
Obsidian - "Ian"
Remington - "Remy"
Seabring - "Abe"
Xanadu - "Xander"

So what names do you have that "oh, but what would you go by?" reaction to, like I did to Princess? And how would you nn them?
