Re: Hating Nicknames
I guess my problem is that I might just end up using a nn, even though I hate them, for convenience sake and I just don't want to fall into that trap. Does anyone have advice to help prevent myself from doing that?

Alice is a short enough name that I don't think you'd need to use a nn for convenience.

I don't know, but I don't think I'd be inclined to use a nn I hated. I guess you'd have to make a conscious effort to use her full name in situations where you'd be inclined to use the nickname, such as when you're calling her directly, for instance.
