Keep meaning to share this one: Virgina Fishburne C____y.
My best friend in high school was Virginia (Gigi) Fishburne C____y. Her mom was a huge fan of Laurence Fishburne and used it for a middle name. You can imagine Gigi didn't share her MN with many people.


Also, I'd like to use a more professional and feminine name for my name (Casey). But as Casey is my given name, I'm not sure what it'd be a nickname for. I've always thought it "only" came from Cassandra (as there was a girl in 4th grade who beat me up for "stealing" her name, and she was Casey, short for Cassandra).

Anyway, any suggestions on a more formal (and preferably feminine) name that Casey could be a NN for?

Also, what are your favorite names starting with the letters "F", "Z" and "K"? (Trying to come up with names I'm not usually drawn to for some character naming)


Thanks all.

I'm sorry. As I said, I was just curious. And I was just asking. Sorry.

I think when one says they don't mean to sound rude, there's no need to comment on how they sounded rude. It's not like she was like you're retarded for using Casey as a nn for Christopher she just said she was curious how you get Casey from Christopher.

But that's just a side note. I agree with you-it's going to be very hard to find a name that it actually "makes sense" for Casey to be a nn for.

But she knew she was coming off as rude or she wouldn't have apologized in advance. Personally, sometimes I just don't know how to word something but I really want to say it the best I can so I start off by saying "I don't mean to offend" or something of the like. I know it's going to come off the wrong way and that's why I let them know I don't mean it how it comes off. I'm bad at wording things though. Momma didn't teach me right :)

I actually had never even heard of Casey for Cassandra. Cassandra has always translated to Cassie for me. Casey is just Casey.

Yeah, that ;) lol :)

I've recently heard "Cassie" for Cassandra, which makes more sense to me. But for 10 years I heard "Casey" for Cassandra so it's hard adjusting lol.

I preface nearly everything I say sometimes on the internet with an apology for fear of sounding rude. 99% it still doesn't sound rude without the apology but because the internet is a tricky place to communicate I add it in anyway.

Thanks for giving me what I 'deserve' though.

... *still doesn't get how asking where a nn comes from is rude* o.O

Maybe she just wanted to know the logic so she could use it? I'm interested in people's thought process behind nns and love unique ones. I'm sorry, but that seems really oversensitive to me.

I, personally, found it to be a really odd reaction because I've seen that exact same question asked very similarly many times in this comm. But if you're allowed to say you found it rude, we're allowed to say that we don't understand why, no?

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

I'm not upset, and giveitafullheart doesn't seem to be, either. I actually just felt kind of bad for the OP because it seemed to me like you were being unnecessarily combative, and wanted to let her know that I didn't think she was out of line.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Personally, I think "giving me what I deserve" is a bit agressive and combative, so I think azelmaroark has a point.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Also, because you defining combative gave me the urge to look up "lambasted:

lambaste: 1. to beat or whip severely.
2. to reprimand or berate harshly; censure; excoriate

I didn't beat you, I didn't whip you. I didn't reprimand or berate you harshly. Nor did anyone else here. You were uber offended that I had a different opinion from you, not that I had a "tone" with you. Because you can not hear tone on the internet. (But just in case you're at a total loss for it, I do have a tone in this comment).

And I apologized to you before you gave me what I 'deserve', and that seems to be all you were looking for. So why wait until you have the chance to be agressive with me over a difference of opinion to tell everyone it's alright?

Mmmhmm :)
