So I’ve decided to rename the main character of one of my stories. I really love the name, but it doesn’t fit her quite right. Right now, she’s [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] “[name_u]Joss[/name_u]” [name_m]Reyes[/name_m], a college student who talks big and loves life. She’s studying biology and sees herself eventually working in a research lab. She has a quirky sense of humor (the first time she meets her love interest, it’s because she lost a bet with her friends. She had to walk up to him and say, “My name is [name_u]Joss[/name_u], but you can call me tonight.”)
I’m looking for a feminine name with a short, spunky nickname. Other characters in this story include [name_u]Shaw[/name_u], [name_m]Adam[/name_m], [name_f]Carrie[/name_f], [name_m]Jake[/name_m], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], and [name_f]Leah[/name_f].
Any suggestions would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!
ETA: A character in another story is [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] nn [name_u]Alex[/name_u], so that’s out.
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] “[name_m]Jack[/name_m] or [name_u]Jackie[/name_u]”
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] “[name_m]Leo[/name_m]”
[name_f]Charlene[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] “[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]”
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] or [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] “[name_u]Rory[/name_u]”
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] “[name_f]Roxy[/name_f] or Rox”
[name_u]Jackie[/name_u] or [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_u]Romy[/name_u]. [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]. [name_f]Nina[/name_f]. [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. [name_u]Percy[/name_u], short for [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]. [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]. [name_u]Sidney[/name_u]/[name_u]Whitney[/name_u]. [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]. [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]. [name_u]Riley[/name_u]. [name_f]Daffodil[/name_f], nn [name_u]Daffy[/name_u]. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], nn [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]. [name_f]Lindy[/name_f]. [name_f]Bryony[/name_f]. [name_f]Carly[/name_f]. [name_f]Indi[/name_f], nn for [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] or [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] or [name_f]India[/name_f]. [name_f]Noa[/name_f]. [name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_u]Landry[/name_u], [name_m]Landon[/name_m]. [name_u]Angie[/name_u], short for any Angle- name. [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u]. [name_u]Cameron[/name_u]? [name_f]Jenna[/name_f].
I like [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], and [name_f]Indi[/name_f]. Thanks for the suggestions!
