HelpRe: Ugh... why not Charlotte, NICKNAMED Charlie??? (m)
in reply to a message by Violet_Kent86
idk some nicknames have a life of their own. Like Jim / Jimmy from James I can see being an entirely separate entity just like Harry from Harold and Henry. Also Max, Bill / Billy, Alex, Ben, Cindy, Eliza, Fred, Harry, Joe / Joey etc all stand on their own I think.
Unfortunately I don't like Charles, but love Charlie for a boy (though I would never use it because I'm a Charlotte and I'd feel like I'm naming the kid after myself even though I don't ever go by Charlie myself) It just has a completely different feel; Charles sounds snobbish while Charlie sounds friendly.
Others such as Theo and Ollie I don't think stand on their own, personally, and for those I'd agree with you.
