[Opinions] Re: Nicknames vs Formal names
Depends on the name. Some can sit on their own; Molly, Hank, Betty, Beth, Lisa and Eliza do that well. Others like Jimmy, Tommy, Billy, Alfie, Ellie, Becky, Jess, Archie, Izzy etc don't do so well.Other names that do well individually are; Alex, Max, Liam, Fred, Jake, Jack, Luke, Emma and BellaEdit: Oh and I mostly opt for the longer versions though admittedly there's some I don't like. Harry I love, but Henry and Harold I hate. Not that I'd name my kid Harry anyway, it's too average. I'd consider using Jules over Julian, however, though I think Jules rather gets away with it for being a form of Julian rather than a nickname (though it can be and has been used as a nn). Zelda I think is another example of a name that can stand on its own and I'd use it as a middle. I'd use it as a fn if I didn't like so many more than it---"one particular boogie will move mirror massaging with stirring crepe mixture, positioning loaves while in the furnace then toting items in containers" ~ best Russian daing sites (guest, 198.144.149.xxx) (2020)Formally PrincessZ and Princess Magpie
