Ok, names I like for future children: Sapphira, shortened to Sara. I really dislike Sara as a full name. It's too short and it's too common. But suddenly, as a nickname for Sapphira, it becomes likeable to me.
Evangeline, shortened to Vannie. Vannie is a family name on my husband's side, but I think it's slightly ridiculous as a full name. Giving a future DD a name that can be shortened to Vannie solves this problem for me. We can honor family through the back door, so to speak. :o)
Eben, shortened to Ben. Yes, I know Eben is already short for Ebenezer (although it's a proper name in its own right), but Eben is just weird enough that DH will feel uncomfortable with it unless it can be shortened to the ever-comfortable, well-known Ben.
Malcolm, shortened to Mac. It was a family name on my side and Mac is cool and relaxed and has none of the associations Malcolm has.
