Help with nicknames, can these be used?

Girl Names
1

I just found out that I am having a girl! I have a long list of names right now and need some help with fulll names and nicknames.

  1. [name]Cate[/name] - Could [name]Cate[/name] be used as a nn for [name]Catalina[/name]?
  2. What other names could make the nn [name]Cate[/name]/[name]Kate[/name], other than [name]Cathryn[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name] or [name]Kathleen[/name] (we already have several of these in the family)?
  3. [name]Cordelia[/name] - Can [name]Cora[/name] be a nn for [name]Cordelia[/name]? I don’t like [name]Cordy[/name] much.
  4. [name]Nora[/name] - Is [name]Nora[/name] typically a full name or is it a nn for something? If so, a nn for what?

My husband and I have names with no nn’s and not many people in my family do either, so I don’t have much experience in this area. Thanks for all your help!

  1. [name]Cate[/name] - Could [name]Cate[/name] be used as a nn for [name]Catalina[/name]?
    [name]Lovely[/name] name, and I can easily see [name]Cate[/name] as a nickname.

  2. What other names could make the nn [name]Cate[/name]/[name]Kate[/name], other than [name]Cathryn[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name] or [name]Kathleen[/name] (we already have several of these in the family)?
    I can only think of [name]Caitlin[/name] as another longer name, though I’m sure that there are others. I think that [name]Kate[/name] is a lovely name that could quite easily stand on its own aswell.

  3. [name]Cordelia[/name] - Can [name]Cora[/name] be a nn for [name]Cordelia[/name]? I don’t like [name]Cordy[/name] much.
    I think [name]Cordelia[/name] nn [name]Cora[/name] is lovely. You may also like [name]Coralie[/name] or [name]Coraline[/name].

  4. [name]Nora[/name] - Is [name]Nora[/name] typically a full name or is it a nn for something? If so, a nn for what?
    I know a [name]Nora[/name] who is just [name]Nora[/name], but I think it can also be used as a nn for [name]Eleanora[/name] and possibly [name]Eleanor[/name] aswell.

[name]Cornelia[/name]? [name]Neely[/name] as a nn? I knew a [name]Neely[/name] growing up and always thought it was adorable, sassy and different.
good luck!

[name]Delia[/name] can be used for [name]Cordelia[/name], I love it!

[name]Catalina[/name] nn [name]Cate[/name] would definitely work, in my opinion.

For [name]Cate[/name]/[name]Kate[/name], you could try [name]Catriona[/name] (a Scottish name pronounced like [name]Katrina[/name], but less hurricane-y), [name]Caitlin[/name], Katida (ka-TEE-da), possibly [name]Katya[/name], and various other foreign forms of [name]Katherine[/name] such as [name]Katalin[/name], Katalinka, [name]Katerina[/name], [name]Katinka[/name] and [name]Katina[/name].

Yes, [name]Cora[/name] can be a nn for [name]Cordelia[/name]. I think this one is absolutely beautiful!

[name]Nora[/name] can be a full name, or it can be a nn for [name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Elinor[/name], [name]Eleanora[/name], [name]Annora[/name], [name]Honora[/name], [name]Honoria[/name] or [name]Honorine[/name].

  1. [name]Cate[/name] - Could [name]Cate[/name] be used as a nn for [name]Catalina[/name]? Yes, for sure! I prefer [name]Catalina[/name] over [name]Catherine[/name], anyway.

  2. What other names could make the nn [name]Cate[/name]/[name]Kate[/name], other than [name]Cathryn[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name] or [name]Kathleen[/name] (we already have several of these in the family)? I love [name]Caterina[/name]… You could also use [name]Caitlin[/name] or [name]Katrina[/name]. Or Hecate, but that’s way over the top.

  3. [name]Cordelia[/name] - Can [name]Cora[/name] be a nn for [name]Cordelia[/name]? Definitely! I love [name]Cordelia[/name], but my favorite nickname for it is [name]Delia[/name].

  4. [name]Nora[/name] - Is [name]Nora[/name] typically a full name or is it a nn for something? If so, a nn for what? I prefer it as a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Annora[/name]/[name]Honora[/name], [name]Eleanora[/name], [name]Lenore[/name], [name]Lenora[/name], etc.
