Re: No nicknames, please!
in reply to a message by Sofia
I don't have a lot of favorite names like this because it's like my goal to have kids who can have nicknames since I always hated that my name can't.I'd use any of these:Patrick
Ian
GrahamClaire
Fiona
Mary

I think Patrick and Mary both have nicknames. Patrick: Paddy, Pat. Mary: Molly, Polly.
I love Claire & Fiona!

I know, but I wouldn't use themI understood it to mean names that you wouldn't use nicknames for, not names that there aren't nicknames for.But if I misinterpretted, then I would swap Patrick for Ciaran and Mary for Effie. It was close between those two anyway.

I meant names that others couldn't use for your kids (or your kids change them later on and then you have to call your child by a name you hate -like Sam for Samuel in my case). So, Patrick is definitely out, but Ciaran is great:-)
