HelpRe: What's your standpoint on... Masculine nicknames for feminine names? o.0
in reply to a message by Lawruh
Hehe, I know a few Alyson's and Alexanders, and I call them all Al. Alyson goes by Aly and Alexander goes by Alex, but they're all Al in my book. It a really personal kind of nickname though. If I had a daughter named Alexandra, I'd probably introduce her as Allie, but if I was talking to her I'd just say Al.
For some odd reason, I agree with you... I don't like girly nicknames on boys! I guess I'm technically sexist in that aspect, but oh well. I'm not really in other ways! My history teacher always says "This is a hard test - we'll separate the boys from the men. Oh sorry Julia, and the women from the girls." I get on his case whenever he says it without the "Sorry, Julia" part! :-P
