Re: Trying way too hard . . .

Just saying that it was a case I'd heard of that employed the same reasoning -- we like this NN but need a full name for it. Sure, Monica is heaps and heaps better than Amygdala, but it was more to illustrate the reasoning than the names.

It's more then just wanting a full name for a nn though (though that's part of it), I just really adore the name Monica, too.

Not to be involved in your debate but I do understand what Cora is saying. Nikki to me also is a nn for Nicole. And she makes a good point. HOWEVER, its only up to you. Your the one who has to like the name no one else. I think Monica is a beautiful name and if you want to nn her Nikki by all means your entiled to do so. Its not that horrible of a thing. Not that it is the same thing or anything but nn's can come from all different places other than the actual first name. My family calls me all kind of nn's that aren't derived from my first name. I also know alot of people who have nn's that are based on their middle names. So Nikki could work as a nn if you want it that way. Everyone is entiled to their own opinions. And everyone has different tastes in names. I don't think Monica needs a nn. But if you love the nn Nikki that much I guess it could work.
Good luck with your naming :)
