It's not that I don't like NNs, but I usually prefer to use "just" the NN as a FN, if that's what you'll mainly be calling them anyway. Unless, of course, it's a silly made-up on the spot kind of NN like "wiggle-butt" or something. Haha.
Allison nn Lissie - Dislike both.
Elizabeth nn Betta - Prefer Libby to Betta.
Felicity nn Flick - I don't like Flick at all. If I were to use a NN for Felicity it'd probably be Lissy or something similar.
Harriet nn Hatsy - Dislike both.
Isabel nn Ibby - Prefer Izzy.
Eleanor/Helen nn Nellie - Really like Nellie, but not Eleanor or Helen.
Nora nn Nonie - Strongly dislike Nonie, but like Nora a lot.
Josephine nn Posy - Love Josephine, prefer Josie or Joey over Posy...but it is cute.
Teresa nn Tree - Strongly dislike both.
Genevieve nn Veva - Actually prefer Veva over Genevieve
Victoria nn Vita - Would prefer Tori over Vita
Richard nn Dix or Hitch - Dislike all 3.
James/Jeremy nn Jem - Love Jem because of To Kill A Mockingbird, wouldn't use either James or Jeremy though.
Christopher nn Kit - Love Kit, dislike Christopher.
Edward nn Ned - Like Edward, dislike Ned.
Oliver nn Noll - Much prefer Olly to Noll.
Philip nn Pip - Like Pip, dislike Philip.
Thomas nn Tip - Dislike both.
Alexander nn Zan - Dislike both.
I like Kit for Christopher and Posy for Josephine!
Not on your list, but I like these too -
Celeste ...Este
Bradford...Ford
Caroline...Coco
OMGosh...I wish I would have seen Coco for Caroline before. It's always been on my list b/c it's DH's aunt and grandmothers name but I just couldn't get past the Carol part. IDK. I'm pretty sold on my name choice right now for our baby girl due in April...but this is like dangling in front of me now....tempting me...This poor kid has literally been 23 names already lol
LOL I had a friend named Theresa and she got nicknamed Tree by myself and another friend for the fact that she was so ridiculously skinny...as in a size 00. That the NN was to kind of mock her for being a twig. So i would NOT consider that a flattering NN.
Some of the full names are fine though; Alison, Elizabeth, Isabel and Alexander
