Re: Nicknames you love, but don't like the full names for.
I like Bess, Liza, and Eliza but not Elizabeth
I like Tess and Tressie but not Theresa (though I'm warming up to Therese)
I like Bram but not Abraham
I like Babs and Babette but not Barbara
I like Archie but not Archibald or Archer
I like Dolly and Dottie but not Dolores or Dorothy
I like Hattie but not Harriet
I like Kit but not Christopher
I like Ollie but not Oliver or Olivia (but Olive's ok)
I like Polly but not Mary/Margaret
I like Wally but not Walter (but Wallace is ok)
I like Cy but not Cyrus
I like Edie but not Edith
I like Mamie but not Mary/Margaret
I like Kathe but not Katharine (Katharina is ok but so long)
I like Thom but not ThomasI would definitely use any othe short names without a full name. It's still a name!What about Davis or Davison, nn Davy? Although I find just-Davy to be really hipster-hip. And Reuben nn Benny?
