Alana nickname

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries, do you think [name_f]Annie[/name_f] could be the nickname for [name_f]Alana[/name_f]. I usually only like obvious / intuitive nicknames but I love the name [name_f]Alana[/name_f] but not so sure about [name_f]Lani[/name_f]. To me [name_f]Lani[/name_f] sounds very American and we’re British.

Same question for the name [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], nickname [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]?

(I like the nn to start with the same letter as the full name!)

Thanks! x

Alana nn Annie definitely makes sense! Marigold nn Maggie is more of a stretch, but i think it could work

[name_f]Alana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] make sense to me

[name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] absolutely work!

[name_f]Alana[/name_f]: Ally/Allie,Ana

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]: Mari,Maddie,Mal,Mali,Millie,Mai,Marlie,Margie

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] ‘Maggie’ is intuitive. [name_f]Alana[/name_f] ‘Annie’ is slightly less so, but the letters are there so it works.

[name_u]Allie[/name_u] makes the most sense to me! [name_f]Annie[/name_f] less so…

I like ally/allie for alana!
