HelpLesser used names as nicknames?
I really love it when I meet someone with a nickname that goes with a name I would not just automatically assume it with. Or if it is a name that I assume is not really short for anything. Okay, so I was looking through my list and I have a few names I feel need a full name or a different nickname and these are the names I have been thinking about and the possible nicknames I would use... are they usable, do they make sense, what do you think, would you be happy to meet a ____ nicknamed _____?
-Declan nn Dex - I was thinking that if Rebecca can go down to Bex then why can't Declan go to Dex, I think I like it better than Dec.
-Mordecai nn Cai or Caius - I have always liked the name Mordecai, however, I think if I were to ever use it it would be a little bit difficult to not have a shorter form. The obvious in my mind is Cai, however what about Caius?
-Sullivan nn Van - I have a thing for the nickname Van, and Sullivan, so why not Van as a nickname instead of Sully, which only makes me think of the plane pilot from the Hudson River.
-Calliope nn Calla - Okay, I really like Calla, it just feels incomplete next to my favorite names, so what about Calliope nn Calla?
-Delphine nn Adele - Adele has a place in my heart but it again feels lacking with my other girls names, so I am really enjoying Delphine lately. Do you think it is too far of a stretch to use the nickname Adele?
-Severina nn Vera - Okay, so Severina is a little out there, is it usable, what about if I use a nickname like Vera?
-Xanthe nn Thea - I really am into the name Xanthe lately as well as Xanthia, but I like the look of Xanthe better, so could I call her Thea?
A few have been kicking around in my head for a while, others have just randomly started to appeal to me... so all replies are appreciated.
Thanks Everyone!
