HelpRe: love the full name, hate the nickname
in reply to a message by earthnut
The only one that immediately comes to mind is Candace. I really hate the nn Candy, and it really does seem almost inevitable.
However, I would point out that at least in the US, Amy is strictly a full name and not a nn. In fact, it would be considered pretty odd if an Amelia or an Amity went by Amy.
I'd also say that Lance as a nn for Lawrence is a stretch. Lances are just Lance.
