HelpRe: Lucinda?
in reply to a message by Antique_Cherub (nsi)
I love Lucinda. It's so charming.
It's so hard to say whether or not a nickname is avoidable. Some people just naturally like to shorten names, and as long as the person doesn't object, they will. And if you had a Lucinda, she might not object, when she's older, and may even want to be called Lucy. That's why I always advise to avoid a name if one really hates any nickname for it. Although personally, I love Lucy and if I used Lucinda it would probably be with the intention of calling her Lucy.
