HelpRe: Names and nicknames
in reply to a message by misabi
I really like Rebecca, but really dislike the nns Becca and Becky. I'd also say I don't like Reba but you hardly ever hear that in real life so it's kind of a non-issue.
Also really like Candace/Dancie but the nn Candy is so dumb. I've met several Candices and one Candisha, and they all went by Candy, so I kind of wonder if any Candaces go by their full names.
However, I have met a lot more Rebeccas and only some of them go by nns, so I'm inclined to think that most nns are not inevitable.

I recall saying this before, but the only Candice I've ever known always went by her full name.
