Nicknames
After reading some comments such as 'I think this name is too short to need a nn' and others like it, I have been wondering:
What are everyone's nn traditions in your family?
Are nns important for your kids to have?
When you look at names, do you automatically think about possible nns?
Or do you plan to call your kids by their full names?
The reason I am asking this is that EVERYONE in my family has a nn, even if it is longer than their actual name (which I find kind of ironic :p). For this reason, I know my family will shorten any children that I have's names no matter what, and whats more, I know I will automatically shorten it! For example, Eden...I know it is short, but it will be shortened to Edie, no doubt about it. So when I list names, I usually give the nn I have chosen for it next to it, as I have one prepared for most of my favourite names
