HelpRe: Names you like, but don't like the common nickname?
in reply to a message by Eva Marie
Agreed on Augustus/Augustine, but not because I don't LIKE Gus - I love Gus, it's adorabs, but I know a really weird, creepy, gross Gus, who is my uncle-of-some-sort. So an association I could not escape. I think his name is actually Augustus too, in fact. He doesn't deserve it.
I'm trying to think of some geniune examples of my own nickname dislike, hmmm. Usually I have the problem of loving a nickname but not a full name.
Oh, I know. I love Christabel, but Chrissy is not so great - though again, that could be mostly due to association. Agh, this is hard! Most of my nickname hates are due to assocations. Even James nn Jamie - hate Jamie because I only know awful Jamies. Christophe nn Chris - knew an awful Chris. Charlotte nn Charli? Not so fond of that I guess... but how common is Charli as the nickname for Charlotte? I don't know any Charlottes so I don't know.
