Re: Do certain names always gain nicknames?
in reply to a message by Georgia-Claire
I don't hink ALL names have to get shortened. I know people named Andrew, Danielle, Jacob (this one's my brother), Robert, Michael, and Katherine who don't go by any nicnames or shortened forms. I know an Elizabeth who used to go by Izzy but is now starting to go by Elizabeth. So, having a name that is commonly shortened doesn't mean it has to be.
