HelpRe: Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?
in reply to a message by coldplayer9
I haven't thought about this before, so I went through my names and picked out some that caught my attention.
Aisling -I hate the nn "Ash" on a girl.
Augusta -I hate hate hate "Gussie / Gusta" names and Aggie.
Jillian -detest Jill. Don't even get me started on Jilly.
Viviana -Can't stand just Viv or Vivi or whatever. I think it takes it from classy to snotty in an instant.
Sibylla -Sibyl is out of the question and anything that sounds like "Bill" is way way out of the question.
Augustine / Augustus -I still hate Gus names and I hate Austin and Auggie too.
Crispin / Crispus -I abhore "Cris" in any form and that's why I don't like Christo- names.
Gillespie -I don't know what they'd call him other than Gil and Gil is just highly unattractive.
Ishmael -There's a boy on TV that goes by Ish and it breaks my heart.
James- It's already a one-syllable classic name. It doesn't need Jimmy/Jamie/Jim/Jay/Jem.
Martin / Maarten / Martyn -We don't need another Mart/Marty/Tin/Tino in this world.
Oliver- Just don't like Ollie/Oli. Noll is weird.
Sebastian -Seb is funny sounding. Bas is possibly even weirder.
William -Just not a fan of Bill, Will, Billy, Willy, Liam. (Same goes for Willoughby.)
On another note, you mentioned Genevieve. Idk if you like Eve/Evie or Vi, but I know a Genevieve that uses those.
