HelpRe: No nicknames, please!
in reply to a message by Sofia
Hmmm
I make nicknames out of everything so this is hard
Hunter is a good one but I don't like the name hunter
maybe..
Felix
Simon
George
Bruno
Pearl
Sarah
Mary
Wow there's so few names I can't imagine making nicknames for, and hardly any that I like
You're totally right about Ian though, and Hope maybe although I do call the Hopes I know Hopey sometimes.

I like Pearl.

Yeah I can think of about a million nicknames for Mary: Molly, Mamie, Maisie...There were so many of them invented when Mary was the most popular name. Still I think most are probably not used anymore, though Meryl Streep has a daughter named Mary who gets called Mamie.
Felix is very common here and many get called Feli for short.

Yeah but I don't think people would automatically do those.

Sorry, but I do have to agree about Si and Georgie (met a little George - Georgie, but I'm sure they don't use it when they grow up).
And I just met a little six-month old Bruno today and his mom kept calling him Brunek, but I guess that's not a problem in English.

I'm more inclined to think Georgie than Si, but Si would probably crop up occasionally.
