Re: Kyan, Beckett, Thackery ...
in reply to a message by Ciarda
Kyan: I love me some Queer Eye, and so it gets a thumbs-up from me. Ky would be a great nn.
Beckett: Lots of good associations--Samuel Beckett, St. Thomas a Beckett--so it also gets the thumbs up from me. And (ooh, this is the best part) you could totally call him Beck. And Beck = pretty much one of the coolest names ever.
Thackery: Simply doesn't look quite right, since I hear it and think of William Makepeace Thackeray. Without the last A, I don't like it as well. I'm also disappointed by the lack of instinctive nns to go with it. It's not bad--I think I need some time to warm up to it.

"Yes," said Laura.

Haha, yes Beckett would inevitably be called Beck at times : )
I hadn't really thought of nicknames for Thackery since I don't use nicknames too much. Haha, I know, I can call him Tacky ; )

YES!
Tacky is absolutely fabulous. Honestly. And you can totally read him Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester and Lynn M. Munsinger. It's one of the most amazing picture books in the world, I tell you.
Thackery nn Tacky sounds like fun. I approve, silly as it is. :D
