There are a small handful of nicknames that I don't mind as full names, but otherwise, no matter how much the nickname has been in use as a full name, I prefer it or only like it as a nickname.

Sometimes I like playing around with combos using nicknames, but I don't think I could bring myself to ever name my child a nickname. I think that it's nice to have a formal name not only for use in formal/professional settings, but so there are more options for what the person can be called-- whether that be the full name itself or another nickname if possible. My first name doesn't have any traditional nicknames and I've never gone by a nickname, and I've always wished that I had that option.

My favorite nicknames are:
Edie
Effie - although it could also be considered a full name
Etta
Evie
Gina
Ginny
Maggie
Mamie
Nan / Nanw
Nell
Nina
Nola
Nonie
Nora
