nicknames

[sliveredlight.livejournal.com]

What liberties do you allow people to take with your kids' nicknames? For those without kids, what spinoffs do you envision having for the top name(s) you have in mind for future/hypothetical kids? Or for those outside either box, your OWN name, the names of kids around you, etc....

Not my kid, but I got (silently, invisibly) irritated at one of the people I work with for calling baby Christian "Christopher", despite knowing his actual name. If I'm going to nickname one of the kids, I usually add something to the name (Ella-Bella) or make the nickname totally unrelated to their name (Liam is Motor Scooter because he is across the room on hands and knees in 2.2 seconds.)

My top two names are Juliana and Lucas, and I think my overwhelming preference will be to use their full first names.

Random Question

I am looking for girl names that could use the nickname May/Mae/Maye/etc. Its for a character, but for various reasons the name cannot just be May/Mae/Maye/etc. Thanks a billion!

What do you guys think about the name Flora nickname Flo? How would you compare it to Florence? Do you automatically think 'fauna'?
