HelpRe: What is your opinion about parents who choose a nice name and then shorten/change it to something else?
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Thank you for your great contribution, Diana.
First of all, I'm really sorry if I've sounded disrespectful or judgmental. I swear that was not my intention. I'm writing this with the small keyboard on my pc screen because some keys don't work and since I don't write in English perfectly either, I wanted the post to be as short and concise as possible, so that's why I haven't explained myself well. I also made the comparisons to my culture as a way of explaining why I find this so peculiar, since writing this in English makes it seem like I am English too. Either way, I sincerely apologize.
Your comment has helped me understand things better. The fact that your name can "evolve" with you as you grow up sounds great. There are nicknames that I like more than the full name itself, like Maggie over Margaret, Kate over Katherine, Lottie over Charlotte, etc. But in general I still prefer long and a bit formal names, sorry, even if some of them are a bit too much xD.
