[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Names signal class. A nickname as a full given name indicates a lower to middle class background. Of course there are exceptions. I would not do it.[/quote] It could (and often does) indicate the opposite. A lot of wealthy parents feel comfortable naming their children any name that they like because they know that their wealth speaks for itself. You can pull off any name (no matter how eccentric, trashy, or poorly spelled) if you’re from an affluent background. A trust fund baby isn’t going to be judged for having the name McKinzee or Lexi. It will just be seen as their name, while that same name placed on a person from a poorer background would be seen as a constant reminder and result of their parents’ socioeconomic status.[/quote] This is exactly why average people should avoid using the more out there and trashy celebrity baby names (Chicago, Stormi, Apple, Kulture, etc.). Their kids can get away with it. Your kid can’t.[/quote]
