HelpRe: What do you think of these?
in reply to a message by HarderToBreathe
Artemis "Missy"- I'm coming around to Artemis- I used to completely dislike it, and I'm still not sold, but it's growing on me. Maybe it's because I like the idea of Artie as a nickname for a girl. I just picture a really cool teenager with that name, haha. I'm not fond of Missy, it sounds prissy and/or juvenile.
Cassandra "Cassie"- Cassandra was almost my own name, and I actually prefer it to the one I ended up with! I think it's elegant but modern. Maybe a tad dated now. Cassie is nice enough as a nickname, particularly as she'd be growing up.
Cleo- I like Cleo. It's short, to the point, and has a sound that's somewhat unusual, with the O ending for a girl.
Elizabeth "Elsie, Libby, Lilibeth"- I find Elizabeth overused and dull, but it's a nice enough name. I like Libby the best of the nicknames you've listed.
Miriam "Miri, Mim, Mimi, Mira"- Miriam is nice. It's not going to turn my head or make me stop and take notice, but it's nice and definitely preferable to yet another popular name. I think Miri is particularly nice as a nickname. I also like Mira, but on its own or as a nickname for Mirabelle.
Nina- Has a pleasantly sharp sound and works very well internationally. I like it.
Persephone "Percy, Sephy, Posey"- Never really came around to Persephone.
Matthias (I pronounce it kind of like ma-thy-us)- Pronunciation is why I don't like it so much. I feel like people will try to say it so many different ways.
Perseus "Percy" (PJO anyone?)- Not a fan of either.
Thaddeus "Thad"- I think Thaddeus is adorably bookish. Thad is pretty unavoidable, but it's not a bad nickname.
Cassandra "Cassie"- Cassandra was almost my own name, and I actually prefer it to the one I ended up with! I think it's elegant but modern. Maybe a tad dated now. Cassie is nice enough as a nickname, particularly as she'd be growing up.
