Re: WDYT of nicknames, and help choosing a nickname...
in reply to a message by Joiya
1) I like them when they evolve naturally. I don't really understand the purpose of a short nn for a two-syllable name, but then again, I tend to like nicknames that are actually longer than the full/official name.
2) Not really. My name's Victoria nn Tory. When people call me Victoria, it just feels slightly more formal (I prefer it nowadays). Some of my relatives called me Tor, and I didn't mind. I dislike being called Vicky, but whatever. It's like having a 4-in-1 first name, and I kinda like it.
3) Dean sounds the most natural to me, so that would be my pick. I think Nin is cute, too; it makes me think of Anais Nin.
Maybe:
Nia / Nyah
Dan
Dani
Hope
