Re: Nicodemus and others
Love Nicodemus. I used to wonder why it didn't catch on more. Then it occurred to me that maybe it reminded people of nicotine, which would be a shame if that's it. Nico would make a neat nn, I agree. In a Dickens novel there's a character called Noddy (sp?). I had to investigate and sure enough, for him, it's from Nicodemus. Totally cute but not realistic in the modern world.Gwyn / Gwynn is male, no? Love Gwen for a woman and Fleur is always beautiful. Gilbert is darling, in a tweedy, old fashioned kind of way. :0)P.S. Love Gwyneth for a woman (obviously) and so could see Gwyn(n) as a nn for it.

Gwynn is a Welsh male name. In this instance though the character was definitely female. Nobody called her anything else but in this instance I wonder if it was short for Gwyneth, Gwenllian or other similar name.
