[quote=Anonymous] [quote] Anonymous wrote: If you like Molly just call her Molly . Why complicate things by adding names? I[b] don't know why many people seem to obsess over what is a proper name vs. a nick name[/b]. I've known Jon that wasn't Jonathan, Gus that wasn't Augustus, Finn that wasn't Phineas. I've known many a Molly whose first name was just that. It's a beautiful name. Your other choices are nice too. Go with whichever you like the most. [/quote] Obsess? I think that's a little strong. The people who make those comments understand (as you apparently don't, PP) that it makes someone look like they come from an uneducated family if they are named Jon, not Jonathan. (Gus can also be a nickname for Gustav, and Finn is a name in its own right). Would you want to do this to your kid? Remember, it's the child that needs to live with the name, probably for 100 years. The parents should put a lot of thought into a name, and it's annoying that some people don't. [/quote]
