Re: Tiggy
in reply to a message by Felie
Tig, Tigs, or Tiggy would make cute nicknames for a baby Antigone, but they would sound silly on an adult.
Don't Italians use any cute nicknames for babies and little children that they don't use once the person grows up? Mimma and Tesoro sound like they could be regular names to non-Italian ears, but aren't they generally strictly nicknames?

Hi !!!
Italians don't use nicknames at all except for those well-known like Mina, Nino, Dina, Pino, Beppe, Gina, Rosy (f) or Giusy (f).
The fact was simply that I supposed that Tiggy were like all the others -y nicknames that recently are becoming established names...just it.
Thanks for your explaination.
