Inspired by my sister's friend at university who only ever goes by Antonia, ever.

I know when naming a baby a lot of people consider the potential nicknames of name and sometimes chuck names onto the 'no' pile based solely on the possibility of it having "that" nickname.

So let's discuss some names where that isn't the case, they can be your favourite names that you're hoping won't grow into the dreaded nickname, names you've used and are making sure they aren't, or names of friends and family that you know from experience the nickname isn't hasn't come to fruition.

Antonia doesn't have to be Toni
Alexandra doesn't have to be Alex
Isabelle doesn't have to be Izzy
Samuel doesn't have to be Sam
Florence doesn't have to be Flo
Matilda doesn't have to be Tilly
