I don't need a lecture on how nicknames just evolve or on how you think it's stupid to name a kid and then call them by a NN.

I'd love to hear your favourite name + nick name combo,to help me fall in love with a new boys name.

I'm not sure Will (Willy Grin) is such a 'brilliant' nickname on the school playground.... but I love Kit and Gil or how about Pip (Philip)?

William nn Will.

And a a bit more out there Edward nn Bear.

For some reason, I love Victoria becoming "Tor" or "Tori" - I know one of each. So much more interesting than Vicky.

I really like Kit (Christopher).
