[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love Charlie but not Charles (I don't like the mouth feel of saying "Charles")

I love nicknames, so we only looked at names that had multiple nicknames. I've always been disappointed that I didn't have a nickname. I really like that you can call a baby one thing, a child another and then they choose a different nickname as an adult. Names should grow like that. [/quote]

My name does lend itself to shortening and nicknames, but I agree with this and it was a major factor in picking a name for me. I wanted a name that, if you shortened it, would still sound good to me, and also that leant itself to some cute childhood nicknames. I actually think a lot of people feel this way because so many of the popular names have this feature of a longer name that has a "cute" childhood nickname and a more adult "short version".

I get the appeal of shorter names but I really liked giving my child more flexibility than that, so depending on her personality or preferences, there would be a version of her name she'd connect to. And sure enough, she loves her nickname and prefers that to her full name. Which is fine with me because that was part of the draw of the name in the first place.[/quote]
