The most active thread yesterday was titled, "Just for fun: like the full name but not the nickname, like the nickname but not the full name" and posted in the "Off-Topic" forum. Threads about names — normally asking for suggestions in the "Expectant and Postpartum Moms" forum — are very common. So, I guess it was just a matter of time until one made the most active list. The purpose of this thread is clear from it's title. One example provided by the original poster is liking Tamara but not Tammy. There are two types of responses that can be expected in name threads. One is posters inventing names that they believe are funny. Most often they are not. The other is posters getting offended, generally when their own name or a name they love is criticized. I haven't read all of this thread but several posts were reported so I know that offense was taken in at least a few cases. I am not sure if any made up names were posted but I certainly wouldn't be surprised. For the most part is appears that posters stayed on topic and stuck to the original poster's intention for the thread. Some posters posted their own names, which they love, and nicknames that they hate and hope that nobody uses. Others posted their children's names and nicknames they either liked or disliked. I wouldn't expect to learn anything new from this type of thread but actually found out for the first time that "Topher" is a nickname for "Christopher". Heretofore, I thought it was its own name and it did not occur to me that it is a nickname. Based on this thread, one would conclude that the name "Rebecca" is the name with the most associated nicknames, but nearly all of them are hated.
