babynames1. What is your preferred spelling of /Lee/? I always think of Leigh for a girl and Lee for a boy. But I'm sure you could write Li, Lei, Lea, or other possibilities. What seems "normal" to you?
2. How do you feel about nicknames? My husband is a "my name is Daniel, NOT Dan, thankyouverymuch" kind of person. He believes you should name the child what you plan on calling it (if you want to call your kid Tim, name him Tim and not Timothy). I'm on the other side. I wish my name (Sarah) had an obvious nickname, because I think nicknames are friendly and/or intimate. Where do you stand?
3. What do you people DO all day? This is the most active community I've ever been in. ;)

Date: 2006-07-07 02:19 am (UTC)2. I like nicknames, but am very picky about them for my own kids. I'm unsure when it comes to picking out names for future children, whether or not I'd go for a "nicknamey name" only.
There is the other side to this too, which is that when you name a kid Just Katie or Just Dan, people assume that they are really Katherines or Daniels as opposed to "no, that IS my whole name...it's short for NOTHING". lol
3. I stay at home with my daughter (& step son when he's not at school/camp). but I did just get a PT job so I have been around less. and you know, I think this community was dead for MONTHS before about a week or two ago then suddenly, it has been CRAZY. :)
