in reply to a message by bananarama
that these were only American trends. Huh.
2. and 3. have long histories of name usage in many countries. Just because they got popular or a few got dated doesn't mean they are awful names.
11. How do you think they got well established? People used them. In one breath you say not to use NNs as FNs but then you give a pass to the ones people have already used? Um, consistency please.

and how about...
Looking on the popularity lists for the UK? Ellies and Gracies and Evies for the girls? Alfies (Alfie? Frickin' ALFIE?) Charlies, Robbies and Freddies for the boys?
But we're just uncouth Americans, you wouldn't expect us to know Alex is not reallya name, it's only a nickname. Color us ignorant.
