I adore Geoffey, but I absolutley loathe Geoff/Jeff, and I think it's pretty much unavoidable with that one :( My mum's ex-boyfriend is
Jeff, and it's a terrible association for me- we hated him from the start, for some very good reasons.
I do worry that potential future dd
Elodia, who would most of the time be called
Elodie, will get the nn
Ellie.
Ellie's fine, just not for my child thankyou. And ditto everyone else ont eh
Lillian nn
Lily.
Lillian is so lovely. Oh, and
Catherine nn
Cathy, althoguh I don't mind
Kate.
Love Nathaniel, can't stand
Nate.
Love Patrick, hate
Pat.
On the flip side, I adore
Emmy, but not any of the names it coudl be a nn for. I love Aerie, but I can't find a full anme for it and it's too nicknamey for me. I like
Charlie, but not
Charles.
