A Dilemma

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Say that you like a particular name that is usually a nickname--I'll use Bree as an example because it's what I've been thinking of--but you don't like the given form of it at all.

Do you:

a) Bestow the nickname upon your baby (so you have a baby simply named Bree)?
b) Bestow the long form of the name upon your baby (so you have a baby named Brianna)?
c) Forgo the name all together because it's too much of a sacrifice either way?

WDYT, and do you have any name dilemmas like this on your list?

Edited to add: Also, do you think Bree is a name unto itself, or it is still a nickname?

I'd choose option D.

I like the nickname Bree, but it's also the name of my grandpa's dog so that's the first thing I think of. :)
