HelpTerrible nickname?
Was just wondering if everyone thought Daffy is a terrible nickname for Daphne.
I understand that it means silly, but is it really such a terrible nickname?
My mum has been crapping on again about how horrible our names are and how Daphne will get teased with the nickname Daffy, but I don't see it as terrible. Especially here in Australia nicknames can be terms of endearment in funny ways, like my husband always calls his mum duffer, short for silly duffer which is basically someone who has done something silly. It's not used in a horrible way, it's more like a friendly/joking thing, for instance if one of my students tries to leave at the end of the day without his school bag or something I might laugh and call him a silly duffer.
So do you think Daphne "Daffy" is awful?
(The whole Daffy duck thing doesn't bother me at all).
