HelpGabriel and Judith [eta Gregory, Juliet, Lorelei, Raphael]
in reply to a message by khaotickharma
Gabe and Judy = icky.
Greg, Julie, Lorie and Rafe/Raphie all make me want to vomit. Why mess with such beautiful names to begin with? How can you possibly want to say Lorie over Lorelei? How can you not revel over saying it all out the long way? Lorelei. Loreleeeeiiiii. Lorrrrrelei. Come on. Lorie? No!
I don't tend to think in nickname mode, because I know the names and combos I come up with will never be used on real people, so I can be as rigid/fanciful/strict as I like. All names I like are full names, never nicknames (except Lena for Helena (heh-LEH-na) and Pasha for Pavel).
Ok, let's see...
Aliz could become Al or Liz, which are gross.
Asha could be Ash, ew.
Salvador =/= Sal.
Montserrat =/= Monty.
Tamar =/= Tam.
Luckily most of the names I like can be shortened to things I actually like (Wesley to Wes, Isobel to Izzy and so on.)
