Finding the Right Formal Name
On the flip side, if you love a particular nickname, but don't like the first name that typically goes along with it, think outside the box for other names. There might be another formal name that can be used with that particular nickname.
For example: If you love Addie, but aren't fond of the formal name Addison, you should also consider Adele or Adelaide.
