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?
What kind of nickname is Topher?

Libby is gross.
Any name that ends in the long e sound is tacky.
Like Penelope, Natalie, and Emily?
Tammy, Billy, Maggie, Tony, Jenny, Gracie, Charlie, Joanie, Cindy
I love Jenny though. Agree about the others.
I love Joanie, Maggie, and I think Gracie is cute for a little girl (I'd just go by Grace as an adult).
I've heard the "endings with long -e is tacky" complaint before but I think it's so case by case. Like I do think the name Tammy is tacky but why is that? I think it's because back in the 80s there were some famous Tammys who were pretty tacky. Whereas the name Emily always sounds classic and pretty to me -- I never think "tacky", I think of Emily Dickinson or Emily Bronte. Cindy sounds like a 90s mom name -- not tacky but not kind of common and old fashioned. But Joanie sounds like a cool girl name to me (and I like it better than Joan).
Names have vibes, and the way you hear it is so heavily influenced by your experience with the name in the past. The idea that all names with a long -e ending are tacky is silly because there is so much variety.

I like Hank, but not Henry. Matt over Matthew. Eliza, but not Elizabeth. Cece, but not Cecelia.
I like Ted, but not Theodore or Theo. Also Ed/Eddie, but not Edward.
Wanted to name my DD Veronica, but I was worried about Vera/Ronnie.

You would hate the 40's when my mom grew up. Everyone had a nn regardless of the name but, it usually was due to their personality. For example a kid who liked to discuss the movies' plots in detail was "Bookie" or their persoanl traits..red hair was "Red" or big guy "Tiny"
So much this.

I agree with all of these!
My son is named Sam, that is what's on his birth certificate. People cannot get their minds around the fact that he's not a Samuel.
My sister is Amanda, she always hated Mandy but people will still call her that.
Sam is a nickname. You cannot be serious.
My DS is a "Samuel", but we've never ever called him that. To us and to everyone, he's "Sam" or "Sammy"
+2, having a Samuel any day now (!) but pretty sure we will only ever call him Sammy or Sam (two older kids already call him Sammy).
My husband wanted to name our older son Nico but I insisted we call him Nicolas, but have never actually addressed him as Nicolas.
You need a resume name!
Awww! Congrats PP! how exciting
Also love the name Nico.

In his case Samuel is like the nickname. I know people who add a name to a first as a nickname. It isn’t the persons middle name either. Think BobbyJo(e).
