Re: What do you think of YOUR name?
in reply to a message by Bee
Bee is a traditional nn for all B names, though especially Beatrice and Beatrix but not exclusively. If I ever met you in person I'll definitely call you Bee and not Beth. :)I don't know or forget how old you are but Nicole was a very popular name in the US in the 70's through the early 90's, it was in the top 15 from 1972 - 1994. My sister was born in 1990 and she hated that there were so many Nicole's at our middle school / high school but luckily every single one went by Nikki, Niki, or Nicki, my sister went mostly by Nicole to differentiate herself at the time, before then we equally called her Nicky or Nicole and sometimes Nick or other nn's that were more goofy. In middle school and high school she didn't want to be called Nicky but now she likes it again. I dislike all the other spellings of Nicky other than Nicky and Nickie, they just seem kind of cheap looking and trendy, none of the other Nicole's at our school spelled Nicky the way my sister does either which I was very surprised by.

I was born in 1993, so right at the end of that I guess. I knew a few Nicoles growing up but it wasn't particularly common... The names I was overexposed to are Rachel, Emily, and towards the end of high school, Hannah.In college I know two Nicoles and one Nichole, none of whom go by anything but their full name.I see Nicky as a male nn honestly, and like Nickie or I guess Nicki for girls. I did used to like Nikki but it has a terrible association for me so it's out.
