Would love to hear any and all names you think could warrant the nn [name_m]Ari[/name_m]. This is one of my very favorite nicknames, from back when [name_f]Arianne[/name_f] was my second favorite girls’ name - I still like her, but can’t really see me using [name_f]Arianne[/name_f] anymore… and most of the other options I’ve thought of that can get me [name_m]Ari[/name_m], I’m not in love with enough to use (Ariana, [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Arielle[/name_f], Arietty, etc.).
I am mulling over [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], but each has problems, so I’m hoping there might be another alternative. I’m even open to more stretchy options - what are your favorite non-traditional ways to get the nn [name_m]Ari[/name_m]? I’m also thinking about [name_f]Maranatha[/name_f] but it feels too over the top for a first name, for me.
Thank you everyone! I’ve been loving [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] lately but like the idea of [name_f]Bella[/name_f] more than [name_m]Ari[/name_m] as a nn for her… and love [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] but she’s my working mn for my favorite girls’ name (Isobel) and has been for probably over a decade now. I can’t really envision separating [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] at this point.
I do like these but can’t really see me using them:
And will have to give these some serious thought:
[name_f]Alastriona[/name_f] (LOVE [name_f]Alastriona[/name_f] and never would’ve thought to use Ari?)
[name_f]Adara[/name_f]
[name_f]Wisteria[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]
Arwen/Arden
Seriously smitten with [name_f]Alastriona[/name_f], [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f], and [name_f]Arden[/name_f] or [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] as [name_m]Ari[/name_m] options. Probably will spend the next few days mulling over them along with [name_f]Arianne[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f].
