Full name for nickname “Nina?”

Girl Names
1

We love [name_f]Nina[/name_f] for a girl, and may even use it by itself in the middle but are trying to think of some longer alternatives that [name_f]Nina[/name_f] would be a nickname for! The only ones we have so far is [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] which I love, but it screams “Addie” to me instead of “Nina!” Also [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] I love, but husband is less keen on.

Our top girl name is [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Maya[/name_f] nn June/Junie!
Others on our list are [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Camila[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], and more adventurous [name_u]Poet[/name_u], [name_u]Skylark[/name_u], [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dottie[/name_f]!

We love literary and nature inspired names!

Anything that ends in -ina, and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] (because of the ensing “knee” sound)

7

From where I live [name_f]Nina[/name_f] can be a nickname for [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f], especially for older generations

[name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] → Giovannina → [name_f]Nina[/name_f]

Also [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]

[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] → [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] → [name_f]Nina[/name_f]

Etc

I have a friend who was going to have a [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] (-eena) and call her [name_f]Nina[/name_f]!

Thank you all so much for the suggestions! We’ve narrowed it down to:

[name_f]Angelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Emalina[/name_f] / Emmelina
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]

But [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] is the winner so far for both of us! Considering middle names [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], or possibly more adventurous [name_u]Lupine[/name_u], [name_u]Poet[/name_u], [name_u]Skylark[/name_u].
