I don’t enjoy cutesy nicknames on adults but I do love them on little kids.

[name_m]Can[/name_m] [name_u]Coco[/name_u] work for [name_f]Carina[/name_f]?

I suppose so. If it came about naturally, then absolutely yes! To pre-plan a nickname like this one (that’s not intuitive) seems far-fetched.

I think [name_u]Coco[/name_u] could work for [name_f]Carina[/name_f] - it feels like quite a ‘generic’ nickname for C names (not in a bad way, as in, just it could work for most of them). It would work even more cohesively with a middle with an O sound (Carina [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Carina[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Carina[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u], [name_f]Carina[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Carina[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Carina[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] etc)

I think it would! Seconding Greyblue’s suggestion of having a middle with an O sound, so it doesn’t seemed stretched.

I think it works

I think it works!

In my opinion, no. [name_u]Coco[/name_u] works for Co-sounds.

[name_f]Corinna[/name_f]
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosette[/name_f]
[name_f]Coline[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]

or just [name_u]Coco[/name_u].

You could also do:

[name_f]Carina[/name_f] [name_f]Coline[/name_f] “Coco”
[name_f]Carina[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f] “Coco”

etc.

But just for [name_f]Carina[/name_f] it’s a bit odd, sorry! It’s like [name_f]Emily[/name_f] “Evie” or [name_f]Emma[/name_f] “Ellie” or something. They don’t have anything in common except for the first letter.

I’d like it better if it were [name_f]Corina[/name_f]

[name_f]Carina[/name_f] has personal significance but thank you!
