[Opinions] Re: The importance of nicknames...
I agree 100% with your first line! To me NN's can't be picked before hand, they have to come naturally. When my brother was born it was planned that he would have the NN TJ, his initials. But that didn't fit him at all and my parents descided to go with a differant NN. (he and my dad have the same name, so a NN is sort of inevitiable). That's why I think a NN can't be planned in advance.
