HelpRe: Mn help, honoring questions, is a nickname as a given name ok?
in reply to a message by Aoiar
Luke:
1. Is this popular right now? Someone on the board said it and related names are popular (I don't want to end up with the next Addison ).
--Hit or miss depending on your area. Star Wars isn't helping much either.
2. I don't like Lucas, I like Luke. Can Luke stand on its own?
--I think if paired with the right name to give a good flow.
3. Middle name ideas?
--Actually, I think Luke makes a better middle name than first. But I keep going back to Jeremiah (Jeremiah Luke)
4. Any bad associations?
--Yes, my ex-fiance's middle name was Lucas and his dad was Luke. Also I don't like Star Wars.
Lucy Kate:
1. Too popular?
--Maybe but it sounds nice.
2. Should it be Louisa, Lucia(loo cee uh) or simply Lucy?
--Louisa is nice. I feel that Lucy can stand on its own. I can't stand Lucia.
3. What do you think of Kate as the middle name? I like the meanings together and I think they sound good together but I'm not sure if they really do.
--I think Lucy Kate sounds fine, as does Louisa Kate.
4. Bad associations?
--None.
My honoring question:
A lot of my family members have formal names but go by a socially acceptable nickname (like Tom/Thomas Dan/Daniel). What do you all think of using the nickname, the name you really associate with that person, rather than the formal name? That's why I want to use Kat. A close relative is Kate/Catherine. I think I just want to use Kate though.
Thoughts?
--I think Kate is plenty short enough. It's on that boarder line of being a nickname and a full name. Nicknames are very subjective I think. I've known plenty of people who used Thomas, Daniel, Candice, Danielle, etc instead of nicknames and it doesn't seem too formal or really take any long to say. Most names I feel don't warrent a nickname. I think the person should decide on what they want to be called.
