HelpRe: Using a less common nickname
in reply to a message by Llewella
use whatever nn you want, they are supposed to be a bit different from proper names. My son's nn is FinnFinn
but saying that, I don't like the idea of choosing a nn before the baby is born or whatever. I like nns to evolve naturally. Yes, of course you should consider potential nns for those that might lead to teasing or bad intials or whatever, but it doesn't feel right to me to choose a nn beforehand. But I like to use names as they are on the birth certificate, not have Sunday names and everyday names. IMO nicknames are for fun not to be used as their everyday name.
