[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A recent "shortlist" thread that mentioned the nn Jo or Danny for Jordan made me realize how weird I think it is when people come up with these short names that don't make any sense. Jordan doesn't lend to either Jo or Danny in my opinion. [/quote] I'm not sure I follow you with Danny. Jordan ends in jor-DAN which does lend itself to using Danny as a nickname. That's similar to Beth for Elizabeth, Fred for Winifred, Belle for Annabelle, and many others. It's common to use the first OR last syllable as a nickname for a multisyllabic name. I agree that using Jo for a name that begins with Jor is a bit of a stretch, but not Danny.[/quote]
