Re: Would you still use a name if you hated all the nicknames?

I'd still do it. People don't necessarily go by a nn. My dh is James, always has been. True, there have been a few who assume he's called Jim, however, that sort of thing can be easily corrected. I've even known people with three to four syllable names who had no nn as well as people with one syllable names having one. Having said all that, there's always the chance that the child or the child's friends could use a nn.
