What name do you like better, and what nickname can i have?

I like Taylor Jordin. When i go to name any of my pets, I do like you did, make a list of names I like and then practice calling the names. Sometimes you will see some of them sound silly and scratch them off the list. Then other names, the pet might actually respond to with a waggy tail or other motion and help you decide. But any way you go, the nicknames could be initials, CJ or TJ.
