So often what cements whether a name is next level great is if it has great nickname options. I’d LOVE to hear from people what their favourite nicknames are? Names they love now, have always loved or wish they could find a full name that they could derive that loved nickname from.
I’ll start some nicknames that I like…
[name_f]Bea[/name_f]

[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivi[/name_f]
[name_u]Coco[/name_u]

Im not really that into [name_f]Estella[/name_f] if I’m honest. I like [name_f]Patience[/name_f] as a full name for [name_f]Essie[/name_f] but I also don’t mind it as a stand alone name
