HelpRe: Love the names, but not the nicknames
in reply to a message by Phebe
Eh, if I really loved a name I'd just dedicate myself to correcting people who tried to shorten it. Being a Madyson you'd think (especially with my spelling) that people would call me Mady but I have NEVER answered to that name (save a few close relatives who called me Mady occasionally while growing up).
You have to keep in mind also though, that your child might CHOOSE to go my the NN you hate. Even with enough diligence to get everyone to NOT call Penelope Penny. She may want to go by Penny, at some point.
randome note: I really like Abigail but hate Abby AND Gail - actually I've always loved the idea of calling an Abigail "Bug" :)
