HelpRe: Bad Nicknames
in reply to a message by HailCthulhu
The only ones I might've shortlisted except for this particular issue, are Francis and Vincent.
You might be able to insist on a full name for 3 years, maybe up to 8 or 10. But beyond that, it'll be up to your kid, not you.
I agree with you about Minnie not being a good nick for Minerva at all.

agree mostly
But I'd much rather be Minnie (and I wouldn't want to be Minnie at all) than be Nervie, or Ervie, or even Minerva.
I really like Vincent, but it seems kind of stiff as an everyday name. It's just very dignified. But Vinnie sounds like a mobster and nothing else, and Vince just doesn't really do it for me either, though it's certainly not as obnoxious as Vinnie. So I'd keep it in the middle name spot, where it really does work well with a lot of names.
