Re: Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?
You could use them as a middle name. I think if you pick a different nickname and inforce that it won't be much of a problem to use a different nickname as long as there is one because people will want to shorten them. Of course if you keep insisting they use the full name it can work.Samantha - you could use Ann (samANtha)or Mandy??Catherine - Rina?My grandmother is Genevieve and she goes by Jenny. Eve, Vi, EvieNicolette - Colette, Colie / Coley "cole - EE", Ette, EttaGabrielle - Bri, Elle, Brielle, Abi, Brie, EllaSeraphina - just insist on Fi
Don't rule them out they are way to beautiful not to use. If they really worry you use them as a middle name.
For me it is:Charlotte - Hate Lottie, Char sounds like Cher, Charlie is okay but not girly, it doesn't seem to do Charlotte justice, Carly would be okay but I know too many I don't like.Victoria - Tori may be okay. Vicky is awful.Abigail - Abby is too close to my cousin's duaghter Addy, and I have a cousin Gail, plus I don't really like the name Gail.Margaret - I have a cousin Margie (I have a lot of cousins), most the other nicknames are okay but I can't find one I really love.Miranda - I don't like Mira or RandiNatasha - not keen on Tasha

I love the Brielle/ Ellie/ Elle idea for Gabrielle. I've thought about it, it could work for me!I am a big fan of Maggie for Margaret, but I can see why people don't like it. Greta, Meg and Margo don't work for you either?
