Loathe: sometimes the nicks are unnatural. Christian - Cricket: gag me? It could happen, but I like it better if it at least seems spontaneous
I agree, believe it or not. They're not so much "Okay, if I have a Christian he'll be a Cricket from day one!" as "That'd be kind of cute if it sounded right on him." Guidelines rather than absolute rules, you know? :) I'm more than open to spontaneous nicknames, since I give them to people constantly and unconsciously; I doubt that my mother expected me to call my sister Jeanie at any point, as an example.
refuse to indulge you on the confusing - and I think unattractive - spelling of Juleann
I have to admit I love how you've phrased this. But out of curiosity, how would you spell a name pronunced jool-ANN? I've been struggling with that a great deal, and the only two ideas that have seemed viable have been Juleann and Julanne.
And Jackie isn't so bad. I guess the guilt is about the popularity.
I'm just not sure it could stand on its own--and I'm unfortunately not a huge fan of any of the names it could be short for. :/ But Jackie is so--so--neat, I guess, on a boy. I haven't the faintest idea why I like it, but I do.

It looks really messy to me.
And "jeu" is close enough to Jew so as to make me uncomfortable, lol!
Maybe I can just spell it Jqxne and pronunce it however I like. ;)
