Re: nn's
in reply to a message by Cambria
Neil as a nn for Cornelius makes perfect sense to me; more sense, frankly, than Conor. Because at my house, at least, name-derived nn's are generally based on the most-emphasized spoked syllable, as in Soph for Sophia. So Neil for Cornelius is perfect, and I also really like Mac for Malcolm, though for sentimental reasons Mal remains my fave nn for Malcolm.
