I love these kind of names!
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] - Im not a huge fan of [name_u]Brett[/name_u] but I love [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]. Then of course there’s [name_u]Bernie[/name_u]. I think you could get away with [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] as well but my personal favourite… [name_f]Etta[/name_f]!
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] – Not a huge fan of the full name but [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Mina[/name_f] are nice. I’d go for [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] or [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Nicolette[/name_f] – This one sounds a bit dated to me. I do like [name_u]Nico[/name_u] but it’s a little too maculine, I prefer [name_u]Nic[/name_u], [name_u]Nicky[/name_u] or again… [name_f]Etta[/name_f]!
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] – A good, solid choice, sadly gaining popularity quite quickly. [name_f]Viv[/name_f] is nice, simple but strong and sweet at the same time. You could try [name_f]Vienne[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] or [name_f]Enna[/name_f] as a nickname as well.
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] – Not sure about the full name but I really like [name_f]Liv[/name_f] and it’s nice to hear it as a nickname for something other than [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I like [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u] but again, a bit masculine, maybe [name_f]Vinia[/name_f] would work better or even [name_f]Lia[/name_f]/[name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Linnie[/name_f]?
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] – One of my favourites on your list. I like [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] but I think the spelling would cause some confusion, I think the full name and the nickname need to be spelt the same. I also like [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] (bit masculine but for some reason I really like it), [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and I even think [name_m]Fritz[/name_m] could work.
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] – [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], but I’ve had some issues with the nicknames myself. [name_f]Tavie[/name_f] is probably my top choice but I don’t like how similar to [name_m]Davey[/name_m] it is. Maybe [name_f]Via[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f] or [name_u]Ottie[/name_u].
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] – [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is sweet and romantic, [name_f]Jette[/name_f] is strong but the spelling makes it very feminine, I like it, great combination.
[name_f]Margret[/name_f] – Not a fan of the name or the nickname to be honest.
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] – I’ve never been a fan of [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or [name_f]Helen[/name_f]. They’ve always been outdated and boring to me. I do love [name_f]Nell[/name_f] though but I think I’d use it as a nickname for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or something else other than [name_f]Helena[/name_f].
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] – [name_f]Bree[/name_f] I like but I just can’t remove the teenage witch association from [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f].
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] – I love [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is a great full name to get to it. Great choice.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] – Another great pair. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is classic and sophisticated and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is so pretty. I also like [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Nieve[/name_f] and even [name_f]Viva[/name_f].
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] but prefer [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], I’m unsure about Vee, it seems a bit too short for my cup of tea.
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] – I really love [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]. Not a fan of [name_u]Peri[/name_u] though. I would call her Sephie or [name_f]Effie[/name_f].
