HelpRe: Names We Love... and the Nicknames We Hate!!
in reply to a message by khaotickharma
I agree with Edie! I adore Edie, and would even consider using Edith which I don't love (but don't mind) just so I could have an Edie.
Some of mine:
Alexandra - I could possibly deal with Sasha or maybe Alex but I would be scared she would get Allie or Lexie and I hate both
Emmeline - I love this as a full name and if I could get my way, would nn her Millie, but I think the nn Em or Emmy is unavoidable and I despise both
Lillian - I adore Lillian but cannot stand Lilly
Evie / Evey- I am not a lover of any of the full names for Evie. I don't mind them on other people's kids but I am just not sold on them for my own. But I really love Evie
Charlie - I adore this on a boy but while Charlie is fun, sweet and charming, I find Charles snotty and pretentious
Jacob - I hate Jake with a fiery passion
Matteo and Matthias - I really loathe the nn Matt and I feel it is impossible to avoid completely
ETA: Josie as a nn- I find it so spunky but Josephine and Josepha make me think of domineering Catholic nuns...
