Re: Unrelated nicknames
in reply to a message by Isis
The parent named ones don't make a lot of sense. Especially Samantha, because that's a perfectly acceptable name which they could've used (Cody is more nicknamey). I understand why foreigners use a completely unrelated English name to make it easier, but Elisa Maria would be easy enough in English countries.
My friend is Russian and his Mum is called Yevgeniya but she goes by Jenny over here. If it was me I would choose Eve or Eva because it is more similar to her real name.

In Russia Yevgeniya is shortened to Jenya, which is close to Jenny.
