So Nat reminds me of rodent snouts. "N" is kind of a vain letter and having a short name just emphasizes the N. That`s why I prefer Allie as a nickname, as well as the fact that I hate Allison, Alyssa etc
And Benjamin is very dignified and reminds me of the Biblical character, who for some reason I always onneted with. But Ben is one of those names that just pops up everywhere, and it`s become blase, and sometimes you don`t know what it`s short for, if anyhtthing, and it just drives me crazy.
Joshua. It`s so Old Testament, and belongs to such sweet, moral people. And then they ome along with Josh. Josh has such an awkward sound, wht with the J and the SH. And it`s "too short" in a way. Feels incomplete. Completely looses its effect when I see a billion cookie-cutter, jocky "Josh Smith"s.
Robbie is sweet and comforting, but Robert has that ugly "Bert" sound, it becomes an average "lumbering" name. And Dannys are all so charming, while Daniel has kind of a brattish sound in its last syllable. Also, my own name (Bethany) drives me insane when people say Beth instead. Bethany is a really cool, historic New Testament name that`s not too usual. Beth, however, is the name of every other fat middle-aged woman working in her garden in a tight floral pattern shirt and sun-hat, who goes to her "Mothers agianst Teenagers" meetings regularly.
