No-Nickname Names

Sick of being called Davey or Jennie all your life? Or, are you sick of having to correct people all the time as to what your nickname is? Look no further! Here are names that have no nicknames... OK, they don't have STANDARD COMMON nicknames at least. Readers keep telling me that Ashley can be Ash, and Kevin can be Kev etc. etc. Sure, you can call yourself anything you want. However... if your name is "Rachel," the chances are a stranger reading your name off an attendance list or waiting room schedule will say Rachel, and not Ray, even if that's what you like to be called. I'm talking about names like Matthew, Benjamin, and Thomas where the majority of people with those names go by nicknames (in some cases whether they like it or not!) There are a few that are kind of cheating, like in the old days, Sarahs were known as Sally or Sadie, and Marys were Molly, Polly etc., but for now, most Sarahs and Marys remain nicknameless.
