Just wondering what people think about naming a baby a shortened name, rather than the full name. Is it OK? or do you think its important that they have the full proper name?
Just asking because I've been struggling for boys names for db and the only ones I really like a shortened ones (which I hate the longer versions of). My two favourites are Charlie and Theo, but I hate the names Charles and Theodore which are obviously the "proper" names.
What do you think? How did you get round this?
