[Opinions] Re: Nicknames in middle name spot?
in reply to a message by Higuma Kanora
I think they work with long first names. It's best when they don't end with an "ee" sound because then they're just like short names instead of nicknames. Katie sounds like an obvious nickname, Leo and Jules* sound like regular names that are short. (Sophie also sounds like a regular name, probably because it's longer and it's used more often as a full name, but normally I'd avoid -"ee" to get that full-name feel).
*but is Jules even a nickname?
ETA some combos (some of these mns are also full names but they're all short for something as well):
Alexandria Vin
Violetta
Catherine Essie
Gwendolen Mina
Miranda Cassie
Wisteria Jen
Lin
Wilhelmina Kate
Alastair Ben
Sebastian Con
Desmond Mark
Gabriel Pen
Hephaestus Jack
William Theo
Theodore Will
Leonardo Red
Edmund Quin
Malachias Liam
Salvatore Win
Alexander Seb
