For a girl, the name Robin is cute, but called her Robby is awful.

Same for some women, particularly in this area, who go by

“Ronny.” Have heard it several times in conversation.

Just awful. And, why??

Same. Cringe at the idea of him being called Jim or Jimmy but would be ok with Jay. Still prefer James, which I why I named him that.

Hate any of the -y nicknames for traditional mens names but I like the names…William/Billy, James/Jimmy, Thomas/Tommy.

Libby is gross.
Any name that ends in the long e sound is tacky.

Love Elizabeth, hate all the nicknames

Love Katherine and Kate. Can’t do Katie or Kathy.

Love Charlotte, Victoria, Rebecca, just no to all nicknames.

I have two girls and this was a huge deal when naming - we needed something nickname-proof.
