@bemiranda the “een” sound near the end of both [name_f]Corinna[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivine[/name_f] is bugging me since it feels a bit rhymey but I also might pronouncing them differently than you.
@Kittycornperry my first thought is that they’re interchangeable and I tend to use them interchangeably, but I do agree that nn _____ feels a bit less intense than “________” so using them to mean sometimes vs all the time nicknames makes sense to me as well.
Thiking about potential nicknames for a new character!
I say [name_f]Bea[/name_f] as beh-ah, so… What about [name_f]Bet[/name_f]?
realising i am simply rehashing points that have been made, but as has been well articulated by previous berries: there is a very slight difference to me. in my head, an elizabeth nn lizzy might go by lizzy sometimes, but also get called elizabeth fairly often. she doesn’t go full-time by lizzy, but does get called it (as opposed to an elizabeth sometimes called beth). i would assume that an elizabeth “lizzy” was lizzy basically always. however, i wouldn’t be surprised to see them used interchangeably.
In your head, how connected is the name Kennedy to JFK/the Kennedy family?
I ask bc I mentioned the the name Kennedy to my dad and he just said “why would you name anyone after a guy who’s famous for getting shot?” 
i totally get why that’s an association for people, but while i know about the kennedys obviously, i’ve just never really felt that connection.
finally feeling passionate about combos again! and updated my user card for the first time in like a year! feeling like … it doesn’t have to be so serious.

i voted for both “first thing i thought of” and “not the strongest” — i think about the kennedy’s immediately, but i also feel like kennedy is commonplace enough that it doesn’t necessarily impact how i feel about kennedy the name !
i think it’s usable, but i just don’t like the sound, i prefer herakles!
ah ok! how would u prn [name_m]Herakles[/name_m]?
Picked yes and too much bc somehow I think it’s both??
nah i totally get it bc that’s pretty much how i feel abt it as well 
I think people use them interchangeably but when I read them nn [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f] sounds like an occasional nickname whereas “Lizzy” sounds like she’d be called [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f] rather than [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
But I do use them interchangeably myself so 
i say ee-ra-klees but i think the english pronunciation might be HEHR-ah-kleez? not too sure!
yeah in english it would be HEH-ruh-kleez
I say heh-rah-kles!
the e of kles is like “eh”
I voted “too much”, but maybe as a middle? I like the way it sounds, but it could be too much for a real person to pull off, given the properties attributed to him in mythology and popular culture. I wouldn’t want to be an insecure and skinny 13-year-old called [name_m]Hercules[/name_m].
