HelpRe: No nicknames, please!
in reply to a message by Sofia
I think ANY name can have a nickname. People will always find a way to shorten a name if they want to. Luka could be Luke or Luki. I think it's easier to shorten Luka than Ivan, personally, even thought Ivan could be Ivy.
I know an Esther who gets called Esthie and a Hope who gets called Hopie. Eva could be Eve, Evie etc
I'll try, though:
Astraea (I guess she could be Aea but I doubt it would happen)
Ivy
Kaia
Cornelius (yeah I guess he could be Corny, but I doubt anyone would do that)
Noel
Finn
Still I guess creative people can shorten ANY name. It's annoying because I hardly like any nicknames either but it can happen. Sasha could be Sash, Poppy could be Pop or Pops or something (eek hehe). I really can't find a way too shorten Ian, though, good one :) But I guess he could end up being called Big I or whatever, there's always a way.

Yeah, but I didn't mean creative nicknames that have no connection to the name. Those are pet names to me and strangers are hardly likely to make them up randomly.
As for Ivan, the nicknames used in Croatia are Ivo, Ivek, Ivanec, Vanja, while Luka doesn't have any nicknames (Luke and Luki don't exist here). Likewise with Eva in Croatia, though I guess there's always diminutive Evica.
Oh, and every Kornelia I know gets called Korny, so I doubt it would be any different for Cornelius - Corny.

I've known heaps of Kornelias (it's common here) and none of them got ever called Korny.
All Evas I've known have been called Evie, though.
It depends on your country and some other things so saying that a Cornelius would definitely be called Corny is as wrong as saying that any Eva would be called Evie, it just depends on so many things.
