Re: No nickname preferred
in reply to a message by cayden
I am a nicknamer, but I have several full names I prefer without. I don't think it's as easy to do, because people do tend to like to shorten or make things sound affectionate. I wouldn't use a name if I didn't like all semi obvious nickname options.
My son is John, not Johnny by his choice.
I've known William, Nicholas, Elizabeth, Kathryn et al, Oliver, Richard, David (actually haven't met a Dave under 30), Margarethe, and Victoria without them.
Best without a nickname:
Nicholas
Samuel
Frederick
Stephen
Matthew
Michael
Thomas
Vincent
I can't think of any girl ones though I know they are out there.

There's my name, Jean-my middle name, but the one I always use. It's a hard one to nick-name. Unless someone thought up a completely different name/term.
Actually, there's Tassie. but people IRL aren't going to start calling me that.
