Dh and I are really considering [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] for our [name_u]March[/name_u] rainbow baby. While we love the full name , we know she will get nicknamed. It is hard for DS to say too, temporarily issue. We would like to avoid [name_u]Jackie[/name_u] because DS is [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]. (Also our last name starts with As, and H is worried about [name_m]Jack[/name_m] Ass jokes.) There are already jokes about my nephew [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and DS. “Doubel shot of [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Daniels[/name_m]!” :rolleyes: So, we were considering [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] or [name_f]Jinny[/name_f] as nicknames. DS has taken to [name_f]Jinny[/name_f]. Would either of these nicknames work? Is the subset too much?
We would use the American pronunciation of jack-uh-lyn. Unless, this would cause too much confusion. My feelings won’t be hurt, I want to troubleshoot this name!
Hmm…I was going to say, the one [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] I know goes by [name_m]Jacque[/name_m] ([name_u]Jackie[/name_u]) or Que. [name_f]Jinny[/name_f] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] are super sweet and I think they work well. The only other ones I can think of would be [name_u]Jay[/name_u] or [name_f]Lin[/name_f]/[name_f]Linny[/name_f].
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] is pretty but I wonder if it is better in the middle spot for you only because you are looking for something else to call her to avoid [name_u]Jackie[/name_u]. Maybe keep searching for a first name that you feel won’t default to a nickname you don’t like because it may be difficult to avoid [name_u]Jackie[/name_u]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought. I love [name_f]Ginny[/name_f]. It’s really sweet although it is maybe a bit of a stretch but nicknames don’t always have to be intuitive if it works for you.
I know a [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] who goes by [name_m]Jake[/name_m]. I like [name_f]Jinny[/name_f] but wonder if you will have problems with spelling.
