HelpIn my limited experiences :o)
in reply to a message by jwalter
Elizabeth - do any go by their full name? What nn's do you hear the most or least?
It seems that more and more Elizabeths are going by their full names rather than Liza, Libby or Beth, which were very common nns for Elizabeth when I was growing up.
Katharine/Katherine/Kathryn/Catherine - do any go by their full name? Do you ever hear the nn Kaye?
I very rarely see/hear versions of Katharine using anything other than Kate or Katie. I haven't heard the nn Kaye, but it would be a welcome change!
Julia - it seems to be a pretty popular baby name right now....I'm wondering if a lot of Julia's will end up just going by Julie?
I doubt it. Maybe Juli - jk! Seriously, I think Jule will be a more popular nn for some reason.
Julianna - ?
If I had to guess, I'd say the Juliannas of today will be nnamed Julie, Julia or Lianna.
Olivia - does this name typically stay in full - no nickname?
In my experiences, little Olivias usually get called Liv, Livy or Olive (yes!). I love Olive, but my friend whose DD is named Olivia hates it, so I don't use it, sadly. The baby is *always* Liv or Livy.
