Hi all, just a little thought experiment I’m hoping you can help with!
What girls’ nicknames can you think of which are two syllables but don’t end in an -ee sound (so no [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], or [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] for example)?
[name_m]You[/name_m] don’t need to provide the full name to go with them - just the nickname (I can reverse engineer any that work, later).
Thanks!!
[name_f]Lulu[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_m]Alex[/name_m], [name_f]Becca[/name_f], [name_f]Carol[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Lisa[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Trisha[/name_f]

[name_m]Jojo[/name_m] (Josephine, Joanna,)
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] (June, [name_f]Juniper[/name_f])
[name_f]Lola[/name_f] (Dolores, Charlotte?)
[name_f]Sasha[/name_f] (Alexandra, Alexandria?)

[name_f]Cora[/name_f] (Coraline, [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f], etc)
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
Trying not to repeat anything…
[name_f]Liza[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Cinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Malou[/name_f]
[name_f]Nanou[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilou[/name_f]
[name_f]Manon[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Nanette[/name_f]
[name_f]Many[/name_f] of these are also used as standalone names (or have more recently become standalone names), but I tried to stick with ones that at least have a strong history of being used as a diminutive.
My favorites:
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]
Capu
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Anja[/name_f]
[name_f]Coco[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lulu[/name_f]
[name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_f]Oona[/name_f] (I would use this for [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], but [name_f]Una[/name_f] makes more sense lol)
[name_f]Milou[/name_f]
[name_f]Philou[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Milou[/name_f], [name_f]Philou[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], and [name_f]Coco[/name_f] probably top the list for me 
I also thought of [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Norah[/name_f], [name_f]Lilou[/name_f], etc., though they’re not personal favorites.
