I’ve had [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] on my short list for girls forever! I think she’s just beautiful. Unfortunately I’m a huge nickname person and really struggled with coming up with one for her (particularly a cute one that might be a little more wearable until she grows up and into such a big name). I like both [name_f]Tulip[/name_f] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], but have been struggling to decide on a middle name for her since! I’ve narrowed down a list to the following:
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Edelweiss[/name_f] “Teddy”
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] “Tulip”
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] (either/or)
Which do you prefer? Any alternate suggestions? Thank you!
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] is my favourite combo out of yours, A possible nickname could be [name_f]Evy[/name_f] (eh-vee)
As for nicknames for [name_f]Temperance[/name_f], you could do… [name_f]Tansy[/name_f], [name_f]Tempe[/name_f] / Tempy, [name_u]Peri[/name_u], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_u]Anne[/name_u], [name_f]Emmie[/name_f], [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] or [name_f]Teri[/name_f]

Oh I love [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] Sybil!!
For a nickname, might I throw Tess/Tessie into the ring (from the Te- and -ce sounds in Temperance)?

What about nn Tansy or Pansy (OK, Pansy might still be problematic)…? Woops, just read above replies - I like Tempe/Tempy, Perrie, Tess & Pepper. Temmy, Tammy, Nancy, Tease, or Temple could work. I would otherwise use Tulip and Teddy and see which sticks.
FWIW, am not sure about Violaine. I like the name, but with Temperance, it’s taking me to “violent temper” sort of ideas. If you use it, the nn TV is there, but let’s not! 
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]
for nicknames maybe [name_f]Emme[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Temperance[/name_f]! I think [name_u]Ren[/name_u] or [name_f]Tia[/name_f] could be good, on trend nicknames as well. Temi or [name_m]Timmy[/name_m] is kind of a cute “Teddy-esque” nickname.
I think I prefer the sound of [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] but prefer the length of [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]. [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] is such a long name, I love it paired with shorter and spunky middles.
I’ll suggest:
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Adela[/name_f] “Teddy”
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] “Tilly”
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Maelys[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Maxine[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
(one of my favorite combos right now is [name_u]Asa[/name_u] Temperance)

Thank you so much everyone! I’m still pretty split between [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_f]Violaine[/name_f], but thiiink I’m leaning more towards [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] at the moment. I prefer the length of [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], but [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] is an honor name so it also has a bit of a soft spot for me.
I also love the suggestion of [name_f]Tess[/name_f]! I think it’s a nickname that would grow well, whereas [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] and [name_f]Tulip[/name_f] both lean more towards child nicknames to me. And I actually think the suggestion of just Temper is quite cute, as well, connotation aside!
Of the suggestions I think that [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] Adele/Adela, [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]!
I love [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Tulip[/name_f] is so cute as a nickname!

Merely as an aside, seeing [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], and since [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] is similar to my daughter’s name, Deliverance–my sisters call my daughter [name_m]Ted[/name_m]. I have no idea why
