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.

Sorry, there are no nickname proof names. If it’s too unusual, your me kid may get the initial letter nickname or something unexpected.

I have a nickname proof name and truly have never been nicknamed (Adriana). People also suck at pronouncing my name so I am constantly correcting them. I like my name but would never name my kid something so onerous.

Riana, Na, Ree, …

Wtf kind of nickname is Na?

Maybe short for Ne Ne ?

The original poster in this subthread said their name Adriana was nickname-proof. A list was provided. Keep up.

What exactly is Rusty short for?

Rusty is a nickname for Russell. The two I know do not have red hair. One is blonde, one is bald.

The Rustys I know are not named Russell. They all had red/auburn hair though.

Hate Becky!!! Thankfully, nobody calls me by that.

Another Rebecca, who likes her name! And like you, I detest Becky. Most people call me by my name, Rebecca, however, family members have been known to call me Reb.

I like the name Kathryn that can be shortened to Kat or Kate. But I don't like Kathy.
After watching Shameless, I like the nickname Lip for Philip. Never really liked the name, Philip or Phil
I like Deborah, but don't like Debbie
I like Liam but I don't like William
I like the name John as a standalone name. Don't like Jonathan.

Bex > Becca > Rebecca

I have three kids with names mentioned above. Their name selection was made with serious intent on picking their names with no bad or annoying nicknames. Not Margaret ( ours is Maggie and that is her given name ), she tends to go by Mags which I thought I originally hated but she actually likes it, Anna, not Annie ( though I like that name just fine ) and Charles but call him Charlie not Chas, Chuck or Charles. All family names that we borrowed.

It's PP's daughter's given name, so in this case, it's not.
