Lol! Well, I didn't name this car, but my first one was a Blue Dodge Spirit we affectionately called Little Blue. OMG, that car made oodles of trips to and from Boston SO many times during college. I was kinda sad when the engine was about to give out and my step-dad finally said he wasn't rebuilding it a 3rd time.
*sigh* back to the issue at hand.
My full first name is Cecilia Caitlín and I've
always gone by Cait (pronounced just like Kate).
I do like nicknames for most people. Like my sister Fiona is "Fi" (like fee) and my husband Brian is "Bri", but my mother-in-law is Nancy and nicknames just don't suit her.
My first daughter will be Alana/Alanna Hazel and I know I'll probably end up calling her Lana.
My husband really likes the name Henry for a boy. I think it's nice, but my son will not be called Hank. Harry would be OK, but Bri's not a big fan. He thinks that people will always associate him with Harry Potter.
I also like James Edward, nn Jamie.
