HelpRe: Nicknames as full names
in reply to a message by CN
I actually used to feel the same Re: Full name vs. Nickname.
After I met my husband, I realized that some cultures place huge importance on nicknames. Since then, I have recognize that there is something to having a name that is more personal than your full name, strictly for friends and family.
Still, I agree that if you are only looking for a longer name to satisfy your desire to call you kid X, than you really should just name your child X legally.
Though - I admit to being desperate to find the perfect full name for Min or Minnie at times. Mostly because DH won't let me just use Min or Minnie as a full name.
