Thanks for sharing this article. The comment on Max forms was great.

I use nicknames for endearment, and make up nns all the time. I'm trying hard to avoid over popular names, so we won't have this issue. I don't think I love any names with ugly nns. I can't stand Chuck or Ed or Eddy, but then Charles and Edward aren't my favorite names either, so I'd never use them. For me, if I like a name, I like the package, meaning all the forms it could take. If a name had a possibility of a repulsive nn, I wouldn't use it.
