Zahara Marley, what do you guys think? I really like the Marley. Zahara is nice, but I like names that can have their own little nickname (example: You can call a Madison, "Maddie"). I guess you could call her Z for short.

Personally, I'm not big on nicknames. If you don't intend to use the child's name, why did you give it to them in the first place, you know? Plus, they are hard to shake. My father is fifty, but he's still "Kenny" (rather than Kenneth or Ken) to his mother and anyone who knew him when he was little.

i've been trying to explain this to my boyfriend for a while, though. he doesn't get it. he's a nickname kind of guy, i guess.

I like nicknames because its giving the child (well, my child atleast lol) their own personal little name. I call my son "Addie" for short, but theres a difference, his name isn't over-the-top common. If his name was Nathan, I definitely wouldn't call him Nate.

But if his name isn't that common, why isn't that special enough? Will you call him that when he gets older? I don't know, it just seems silly to me.
Not to attack you or any other parents who like nn's, just my thoughts on the issue. :)

Just to kind of personalize it, its cute and fits him. :)

On the nickname thing- my little sister's name is Danielle, but we have always called her Dani. My mom loved the idea of giving a girl a boyish name, but she wanted my sister to have a "formal" name to fall back on, so she named her Danielle with the intent of ALWAYS calling her Dani.
