HelpRe: Uncommon nicknames
in reply to a message by Crista
There are a few, like Peggy for Margaret, that I think are well known enough not to cause any confusion. Sasha for Alexandra might fit in that category, too.
I'd rather see Daisy, Sasha, Polly, Sadie, and Sally given as proper names rather than as nicknames, but if I loved the thought of something like Sarah, nn Sadie, I'd use both. I wouldn't care if strangers thought it was weird. If questioned, it's not hard to explain that Sadie is an old-fashioned nickname for Sarah.
