I’m looking for preferably 3+ syllable names for a project. I’m leaning more towards uncommon vintage names, but am open to anything!
I’m looking for 3+ syllables so that they can be shortened to a 1 & 2 syllable nickname (or any name that has a short & shorter nickname).
The list I have so far are:
Emmeline → Emma → Emme/Em
Jillian → Jilly → Jill
Lucienne → Lucie → Lu
Magdalena → Maggie → Mags
Halford → Hally → Hal
Rudyard → Rudy → Rue
Sebastien → Bastien → Baz
Trying to go mainly for vintage or at least classic names…
