Erin?

[deemented]

Like, loathe or indifferent?

Erin is a beautiful name. DD1 is Erin and out of all the girls I have had the pleasure of naming, it is still my favourite. it cannot be shortened either, which is lovely.

I never liked the sound of the name at all, but met a gorgeous little baby Erin a few months ago and it changed my mind as she was so cute!

I really like it

Don't particularly like it, agree with kerala that it is an ugly sounding word, a bit 'harsh' IYKWIM.

Out of interest why don't people like names that can't be shortened? I have quite a long name and although it doesn't have a 'common' short version I like it when people do shorten it.

I don't like names that can be shortened because if I choose a name, that's what I want them to have, not some cutesy diminutive.

My name can be shortened and spelled a billion different ways and it is an inconvenience. I can never remember if I've applied for something under my full name or shortened version, or who knows me as what. I am mostly known as the shortened version and I wish I wasn't.
