[name]Hi[/name],
We are looking for a girl’s name to go with big sister [name]Raina[/name]. Ideally, it should be unusual, end with “A”, and have a cute nickname that goes with [name]Rainy[/name]. All the names we like so far don’t seem to have any nicknames:
[name]Aviva[/name]
[name]Paloma[/name]
[name]Rivka[/name]
[name]Verona[/name]
Does anyone have any ideas for us?
[name]Raina[/name] and…
[name]Calla[/name]
[name]Leilani[/name] (nn [name]Lani[/name])
[name]Ruby[/name] (a little too cutesy…but I liked the name 
)
[name]Cordelia[/name] (nn [name]Cora[/name], [name]Cordy[/name], [name]Lia[/name])
[name]Laguna[/name]
[name]Hadley[/name] (nn [name]Hattie[/name])
[name]Willow[/name] (nn [name]Willa[/name]?)
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Neva[/name]
[name]Quilla[/name]
[name]Soleil[/name]
[name]Tierra[/name]
[name]Jora[/name] (means [name]Autumn[/name] [name]Rain[/name])
[name]Amaya[/name] (means night rain)
[name]Mika[/name]
[name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Larkin[/name] (nn [name]Lark[/name]) - its a boys name but feels girly to me
I love [name]Paloma[/name], have you considered Lo as a nickname?

[name]Theodora[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Acacia[/name]

[name]Ariadne[/name]

Quote junipersunshine (sorry, I’m not sure how to do the quote thing)
I think those names do have nicknames! Someone else mentioned Lo as a nicknames for [name]Paloma[/name], both of which I love! A nickname for [name]Aviva[/name] (which I also love) might be [name]Vivi[/name], which I think goes great with [name]Rainy[/name]. [name]Rivka[/name] and [name]Verona[/name] I’m not sure about, but you could always call them Riv, [name]Ver[/name], Veri, [name]Ona[/name], or [name]Rona[/name].
Some of my suggestions:
[name]Evelyn[/name] or [name]Evangeline[/name] (possibly [name]Evangelina[/name] since you wanted it to end with A) nn [name]Evvy[/name]
[name]Willow[/name] nn [name]Willie[/name] (this one I think is perfect)
From others, I liked [name]Calla[/name] (nn [name]Callie[/name]?), [name]Amaya[/name], [name]Lola[/name] (nn for [name]Paloma[/name]), and [name]Flora[/name].
Good luck and great choices!
Poloma definitely!
Unusual? WDYT about [name]Ashira[/name]? Means “I will sing”
Some of your name ideas do have nn’s:
[name]Aviva[/name] - I second [name]Maria[/name]‘s idea of [name]Vivi[/name]
[name]Paloma[/name] - I agree with other posters’ idea of [name]Polly[/name] and [name]Lola[/name].
[name]Rivka[/name] - okay, I can’t think of a nn for this. Maybe [name]River[/name]. Also thought of [name]Kiri[/name] ([name]KEER[/name]-ee). I just made up [name]Kiri[/name]. Rhymes with [name]Miri[/name].
[name]Verona[/name] - [name]Vera[/name]!
Does anyone have any ideas for us?
I know a [name]Raina[/name] whose big sister is [name]Kiera[/name].
