Re: Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?
in reply to a message by Kate
I don't think you'll have a problem with Alice. I think it's short enough that a nickname wouldn't be automatic. Julia on the other hand... Julie or Jules might be unavoidable.
I don't like Phi or Phina, but people have been suggesting Sephy and Raphy, which aren't bad. I'd never use Nico on a girl, as I would never use any name that ended in 'o' on a girl.

For the record, I wouldn't use Nico on a girl either. :)
