🤷 long form or short form

[Greyblue]

Hi all!

Hope you’re having a good day (and if not, that it gets better soon)

A couple of questions for you today! As ever, only answer the ones you feel like and as a disclaimer this is not for a baby or a real person, just for fun

1. Out of these options below, do you prefer the shorter/nickname-y name or do you like the longer form/s best?

the names

Just out of these please! so either Libby or Liberty, not Libby but for Elizabeth (we’ll get to that below)
If you don’t like any of the options, just skip over it - no need to force yourself to choose when the answer is none!!

Libby or Liberty

Emmy or Embla

Eadie or Eadlyn or Edith

Tay or Tamar (pn TAY-mar)

Nell or Arianell or Penelope

Sol or Isolde

Sunny or Sunniva

Billie or Abilene

Mina or Wilhelmina

Deenie or Nadine or Willodean

Nev or Ginevra

Tansy or Constance or Tamsin

Jilly or Jilly-Mae or Jillian Mabel

Dora or Isadora

Mira or Mirabel

Lainey or Delaney

Dell or Delilah or Delaney or Delyth

Cass or Cassie or Cassidy or Cassia

Sosie or Sophronia

Saffie or Saffron

Ro or Rowan or Rowenna or Rosalie

Indie or Indigo

Romy or Romilly

2. Is there a shorter/nickname-y name that you like but for a different long form? (e.g Nell, but for Eleanor)

3. Is there a longer name you like but with a different nickname? (e.g Ginevra but nn Ginny)

4. Are there any names where you can’t decide if you like the shorter/nickname form on it’s own or the longer form best? (either from this list or your own list)

Thank you to anyone who answers

I like [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] “Romy” and [name_f]Helena[/name_f] “Nell”. I think I would like [name_f]Jilly[/name_f] better as a nickname for something like Lily-Jane just because [name_f]Jilly[/name_f] and [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] aren’t quite my style. (I know an [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] [name_f]Lou[/name_f] who is probably in her 70’s or 80’s and wears her name very well, I don’t think this is one that needs a long form)

3. For [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] I would prefer Evra or possibly [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] over [name_m]Nev[/name_m]

4. [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] + [name_f]Delaney[/name_f] and [name_f]Sosie[/name_f] + [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] and [name_f]Billie[/name_f] + [name_f]Abilene[/name_f]

@Greyblue

Are there any names where you can’t decide if you like the shorter/nickname form on it’s own or the longer form best? (either from this list or your own list)

It was difficult to decide between [name_f]Billie[/name_f] and [name_f]Abilene[/name_f], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] and [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f], [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] and [name_f]Delaney[/name_f].

[snowmaiden]

[name_f]Libby[/name_f] or [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] — I like long form [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

[name_f]Tay[/name_f] or [name_f]Tamar[/name_f]

[name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_f]Arianell[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] — I love short for [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f], and [name_f]Yelena[/name_f]

[name_m]Sol[/name_m] or [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]

[name_f]Sunny[/name_f] or [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]

[name_f]Billie[/name_f] or [name_f]Abilene[/name_f] — I like long forms [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Beulah[/name_f], stretchy [name_f]Belle[/name_f]

[name_f]Mina[/name_f] or [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]

[name_f]Deenie[/name_f] or [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] or [name_f]Willodean[/name_f] — Such a great name, I love nicknames [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f], even [name_f]Billie[/name_f] again!

[name_m]Nev[/name_m] or [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] — I love the idea of [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] nn [name_m]Nev[/name_m] so much

[name_f]Tansy[/name_f] or [name_f]Constance[/name_f] or [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]

[name_f]Jilly[/name_f] or Jilly-Mae or [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] — I like this “grown up” form for playful [name_f]Jilly[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

[name_f]Mira[/name_f] or [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]

[name_f]Sosie[/name_f] or [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] — Definitely cute on her own, and I love as a nickname for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]

[name_f]Ro[/name_f] or [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] or [name_f]Rowenna[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] — Especially as a nickname for [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] or [name_m]Royce[/name_m]

[winterlyricalfox]

This is fun!!

[name_f]Libby[/name_f] over [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] (Love the youthful vibes of [name_f]Libby[/name_f], and feels easier to carry than Liberty)

[name_f]Embla[/name_f] over [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] (Embla is so regal and gorgeous, and while [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] is certainly pretty it just doesn’t conjure the same effect!!)

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] over [name_f]Eadlyn[/name_f] over [name_f]Eadie[/name_f] (I love the sweet simplicity of [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Eadlyn[/name_f] is also awesome but just don’t love her as much as [name_f]Edith[/name_f]. I love Eadie/Edie too, just too many hard choices!!)

[name_f]Tamar[/name_f] over [name_f]Tay[/name_f] (Love the nature imagery of [name_f]Tamar[/name_f], she also feels much more unique and whimsical)

[name_f]Arianell[/name_f] over [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] over [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (Love the magical vibes of [name_f]Arianell[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is nice but slightly overused imo, and I’ve never been able to get behind [name_f]Nell[/name_f] except for you, but you’re more of a [name_f]Grace[/name_f] to me anyways )

[name_m]Sol[/name_m] over [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (Isolde feels a little stuffy to me, but [name_m]Sol[/name_m] feels so sunny and carefree and sweet)

[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] over [name_f]Sunny[/name_f] (Love [name_f]Sunny[/name_f] too, but love the professionalism that [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] exudes while still being so sweet and bright!!)

[name_f]Abilene[/name_f] over [name_f]Billie[/name_f] (I do quite like [name_f]Billie[/name_f], but something about the lovely underused [name_f]Abilene[/name_f] just gets me every time!!)

[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] over [name_f]Mina[/name_f] (Love the elegance of [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f] just isn’t my favorite!!)

[name_f]Willodean[/name_f] over [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] over [name_f]Deenie[/name_f] (Willodean gives such little house on the prairie vibes in a good way, [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] is pretty but I know quite a few, and [name_f]Deenie[/name_f] is cute but not full name material imo!!)

[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] over [name_m]Nev[/name_m] (Easy pick for me as you know how much I adore [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], but [name_m]Nev[/name_m] is a super cute nn for her!!)

[name_f]Tansy[/name_f] over [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] over [name_f]Constance[/name_f] (LOVE [name_f]Tansy[/name_f], she’s so precious!! [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] is cute but don’t love as much, and [name_f]Constance[/name_f] feels a tad dated)

Jilly-Mae over [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] over [name_f]Jilly[/name_f] (Jilly-Mae is super cute!! I also like the long [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], just slightly more of a mouthful. [name_f]Jilly[/name_f] is sweet, just my least favorite of the three!!)

[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] over [name_f]Dora[/name_f] (Isadora is a little fanciful, but helps rid of the [name_f]Dora[/name_f] the [name_f]Explorer[/name_f] association a bit!!)

[name_f]Mira[/name_f] over [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] (I do like [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], but something about the simplicity of [name_f]Mira[/name_f] just wins me over!!)

[name_f]Lainey[/name_f] over [name_f]Delaney[/name_f] (Lainey feels youthful and fun to me, [name_f]Delaney[/name_f] feels a little more confused about what she’s trying to be!!)

[name_f]Delyth[/name_f] over [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] over [name_f]Delaney[/name_f] over [name_m]Dell[/name_m] (Delyth has such a pretty meaning and is so underused, [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is sweet but not the best association, [name_f]Delaney[/name_f] same as above, and [name_m]Dell[/name_m] just because I don’t love her as a name!!)

[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] over [name_m]Cass[/name_m] over [name_f]Cassidy[/name_f] over [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] (Cassia is just gorgeous, I love the androgynous vibes of [name_m]Cass[/name_m] for a girl, [name_f]Cassidy[/name_f] I love for a boy but not too much for a girl, and [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] I just don’t think works as well as a full name!!)

[name_f]Sosie[/name_f] over [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] (I like the grand and lengthy vibes of [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f], but [name_f]Sosie[/name_f] is just so cute I couldn’t pass her up!!)

Saffie over [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] (Saf/Saffie is a name that holds a special place in my heart so she was the obvious winner, and I do not love [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] although she does offer cool imagery!!)

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] over [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] over [name_f]Rowenna[/name_f] over [name_f]Ro[/name_f] (This one was so hard!! [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] I both love but I could more reasonably see myself using [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Rowenna[/name_f] is cool but a little fantasy-esque (which is rich coming from me, I know ), and [name_f]Ro[/name_f] is cute but just had to fall last!!)

[name_f]Indie[/name_f] over [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] (Indie is so spunky cute!! I’m coming around to [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] too, but more for a boy)

[name_f]Romy[/name_f] over [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] (I love [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], but something about [name_f]Romy[/name_f] is just so spunky and cool!!)

2. Of your names, here are some other names that I like your given nns for!!

[name_f]Emmy[/name_f] - [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Eadie[/name_f] - [name_f]Enid[/name_f]
[name_m]Sol[/name_m] - [name_f]Solveig[/name_f]
[name_f]Sunny[/name_f] - [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f] - [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f]
Saffie - Rosafiere
[name_f]Romy[/name_f] - [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]

3. NNs I like from your longer names:

[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] - [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Helmi[/name_f]
[name_f]Willodean[/name_f] - [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] - [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] - Saf
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] - [name_f]Milly[/name_f]

[MichelleM]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Some of these I may like the nn more, but would still generally use the full name with the nn as a nn personally.

I’ll do my best though!

[name_f]Libby[/name_f] or Liberty-Libby. [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] is a great word, but it’s just a lot of a meaning for a name in my opinion. I like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Libby[/name_f].

[name_f]Emmy[/name_f] or Embla-I don’t care for either, but would definitely prefer [name_f]Embla[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]. Really like [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] more.

[name_f]Eadie[/name_f] or [name_f]Eadlyn[/name_f] or Edith-Well…I guess as a nn for [name_f]Edith[/name_f]. But prefer [name_f]Edie[/name_f]. And I like [name_f]Eden[/name_f] & [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] too. But [name_f]Edith[/name_f] is cute.

[name_f]Tay[/name_f] or [name_f]Tamar[/name_f] (pn TAY-mar)-Tamar. [name_f]Tay[/name_f] is too short. [name_f]Tamar[/name_f] is better than [name_f]Taylor[/name_f].

[name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_f]Arianell[/name_f] or Penelope-Penelope! I love [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], but not [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. Not sure why. I like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] too, but maybe [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] slightly more.

[name_m]Sol[/name_m] or Isolde-Ooh, [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] nn [name_m]Sol[/name_m] is neat. [name_m]Sol[/name_m] is too short on its own. I like [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], but also [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] or [name_f]Soleil[/name_f].

[name_f]Sunny[/name_f] or Sunniva-Susanna nn [name_f]Sunny[/name_f]!

[name_f]Billie[/name_f] or Abilene-Mabel nn [name_f]Billie[/name_f]! [name_m]Or[/name_m] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f].

[name_f]Mina[/name_f] or Wilhelmina-Wilhelmina. I like [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], & [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mina[/name_f] is nice. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] as a nn too. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] & [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] also nice.

[name_f]Deenie[/name_f] or [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] or Willodean-Aw, I know a little [name_f]Aberdeen[/name_f] sometimes nn [name_f]Deenie[/name_f]. I like that.

[name_m]Nev[/name_m] or Ginevra-I guess [name_m]Nev[/name_m] is too short on its own. Maybe prefer [name_f]Geneva[/name_f]?

[name_f]Tansy[/name_f] or [name_f]Constance[/name_f] or Tamsin-Tamsin.

[name_f]Jilly[/name_f] or Jilly-Mae or [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] Mabel-Jillian [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] nn [name_f]Jilly[/name_f]. [name_f]Jilly[/name_f] is too cutesy on its own, & I’m not a hyphen person.

[name_f]Dora[/name_f] or Isadora-Isadora nn [name_f]Dora[/name_f]. Really like the nns [name_f]Izzy[/name_f] or [name_f]Idgie[/name_f] too. [name_m]Or[/name_m] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dora[/name_f].

[name_f]Lainey[/name_f] or Delaney-Well, [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] seems too nick-name-y, but I think it’s cute & I don’t care much for [name_f]Delaney[/name_f]. Maybe [name_f]Elena[/name_f]. I don’t care for [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f], but like the idea of [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] for that.

[name_m]Dell[/name_m] or [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] or [name_f]Delaney[/name_f] or Delyth-Not a fan of any of them, but I think [name_f]Adela[/name_f] is pretty. Maybe [name_f]Adela[/name_f] nn [name_m]Dell[/name_m]?

[name_m]Cass[/name_m] or [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] or [name_f]Cassidy[/name_f] or Cassia-I guess [name_f]Cassia[/name_f].

[name_f]Sosie[/name_f] or Sophronia-Sosie seems a little nick-name-y. That’s cute though. [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] is interesting.

Saffie or Saffron-Saffron. So cool!

[name_f]Ro[/name_f] or [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] or [name_f]Rowenna[/name_f] or Rosalie-Rosalie

[name_f]Indie[/name_f] or Indigo-Love [name_f]Indigo[/name_f]! I like [name_f]Indie[/name_f], but really like [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] nn [name_f]Idgie[/name_f].

[name_f]Romy[/name_f] or Romilly-Romilly.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

I couldn’t pick between [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] and [name_f]Cassidy[/name_f] on your list.
On mine the ones that come to mind that I have the most debate about are [name_m]Freddie[/name_m] vs [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_f]Annie[/name_f] vs all 2 billion long forms I have on my list.

[OctaviaMay]

1. I think in general I prefer the longer form!
   [name_f]Libby[/name_f]
   [name_f]Embla[/name_f]
   [name_f]Edith[/name_f]
   [name_f]Tamar[/name_f]
   [name_f]Nell[/name_f]
   [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
   [name_f]Sunny[/name_f]
   [name_f]Billie[/name_f]
   [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
   [name_f]Nadine[/name_f]
   [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
   [name_f]Constance[/name_f]
   [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
   [name_f]Dora[/name_f]
   [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
   [name_f]Lainey[/name_f]
   [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
   [name_m]Cass[/name_m]
   [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f]
   [name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
   [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
   [name_f]Indigo[/name_f]
   [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]

2. I love [name_f]Billie[/name_f] but am not a fan of [name_f]Abilene[/name_f], I prefer [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] “Billie” or [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f] “Billie”! The same with [name_f]Dora[/name_f] (I love [name_f]Dora[/name_f], not [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], but yes to Dorothy!)

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] “Penny”
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] “Billie” (just realized this could work for [name_f]Billie[/name_f] too!)
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] “Ginny”
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] “Connie”

4. Most of the time, I love both the long name and the nickname equally- but would always go with the longer version because then I get both! However, a couple examples where I like the nickname just as much if not more then the longer version are:

[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] “Heidi”
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] “Dora”
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “Beth”
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] “Francie”
[name_f]Jillian[/name_f] “Jill”
[name_f]Margarita[/name_f] “Marga”
[name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] “Magda”
[name_f]Roberta[/name_f] “Bobbie”

2. Not that I can think of

3. I like Penelope nn Penny and Rosalie nn Rosie

4. From this list I was very torn between Indigo and Indie and somewhat between Billie and Abeline and Lainey and Delaney. From my own I can’t really think of any (other than a couple where I’d never use the nickname alone anyway), though there are quite a few nicknames that don’t feel like enough on their own, but I don’t like any long forms of.

[EdgeOfTheMeadow]

1. [name_f]Libby[/name_f], [name_f]Emmy[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Tamar[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_m]Sol[/name_m], [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], [name_f]Abilene[/name_f], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Nadine[/name_f], [name_m]Nev[/name_m], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] , [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Dora[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Delaney[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Cassie[/name_f], [name_f]Sosie[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_m]Rowan[/name_m], [name_f]Indie[/name_f], [name_f]Romilly[/name_f].

@Posielee Thank you!! [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] ‘Romy’ and [name_f]Helena[/name_f] ‘Nell’ are charming! And an [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] [name_f]Lou[/name_f] - that’s so cool! Lily-Jane (or Jane-Lily?) ‘Jilly’ is a cool idea Evra and [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] are great too! Especially Evra!

@PeachyMum Thank you!!! I always forget I enjoy [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]! [name_f]Ro[/name_f] for [name_f]Rio[/name_f] is super cool too - [name_f]Rio[/name_f] is fun [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] for [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Dia[/name_f] for [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and Loe for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] are great! (I like [name_f]Lolo[/name_f] and didn’t think of that for Penelope!)

@kachenka thank you!! [name_f]Helen[/name_f] ‘Nell’ is charming and [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] ‘Minnie’ is lovely! And yes to [name_f]Edith[/name_f] vs. Eadie/Edie! Such a tough choice

@Sadie307 thank you I’ve never come across [name_f]Emera[/name_f] - an interesting name!! [name_f]Eden[/name_f] ‘Edie’ is lovely too and Tatum!! [name_f]Tatum[/name_f] is cool! [name_m]Sol[/name_m] for Solvieg is sweet! [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] ‘Dora’, [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] ‘Cass’ and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] ‘Dell’ are beautiful! and [name_f]Mira[/name_f] for [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is lovely!

@Estrela thank you!!! [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] ‘Emmy’!!! how could I forget! [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Antonella[/name_f] ‘Nell’ are brilliant - and [name_f]Solange[/name_f] and Marisol!! Again, how did I forget! [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f] ‘Billie’, [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] / [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] ‘Mira’, [name_f]Delta[/name_f] ‘Dell’’ , [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] ‘Saffie’ are wonderful! [name_m]Loving[/name_m] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ‘Poppy’, [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] ‘Minnie’ / ‘Willa’, [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] ‘Ever’ / ‘Gigi’ and [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] ‘Milly’ are gorgeous!

@snowmaiden thank you!! [name_f]Yelena[/name_f] is so interesting! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you know how it’s said? Also [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] - so sweet!! [name_f]Beulah[/name_f] ‘Billie’ is very cool and inspired - and [name_f]Willodean[/name_f] does give some great options! Annadell!! [name_f]Love[/name_f] that! [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_m]Royce[/name_m] ‘Ro’ - you’ve sold me on [name_m]Royce[/name_m] btw!

@winterlyricalfox thank you for the detailed thoughts!! I’ve never met a rl [name_f]Nadine[/name_f] I don’t think - it is interesting how names can feel so different in different places, because of different experiences! I wish [name_f]Dora[/name_f] the [name_f]Explorer[/name_f] wasn’t such a big thing it will haunt the name [name_f]Dora[/name_f] forever I think… [name_f]Delyth[/name_f] does have such a pretty meaning - I knew a sweet [name_f]Delyth[/name_f] and she helped sell the name!! [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] for a boy is very charming - I think I have it on both lists tbh !
[name_f]Eadie[/name_f] for Enid!!! love that! [name_f]Sunny[/name_f] for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] for [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f], Saffie for Rosafiere!! Those are fabulous! Saf from [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] is great too!

@MichelleM thank you for all your thoughts!! I get that nicknames as given names aren’t to everyone’s taste!
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is sweet; [name_f]Eden[/name_f] is charming; [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is brilliant too; [name_f]Sunny[/name_f] for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is great; [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] ‘Billie’ is brilliant - always forget that!; [name_f]Aberdeen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Deenie[/name_f] is fun - wish I could get over the cow association!; [name_f]Geneva[/name_f] is sweet - I like that too; [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is lovely - I always forget [name_f]Mira[/name_f] could be a nickname for that as I go for [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] ‘Mim’ or ‘Mimsy’!; I love all the [name_f]Adel[/name_f]- names but alas, unusable for me as first names
Out of interest, (I mean genuinely curious to know), do you find things like [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] too short as given names or is it more about the feel of them for you?

@lucy_halo1 thank you!! [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] and [name_f]Solana[/name_f] are lovely! And [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] ‘Sophie’ brings sweet balance! [name_f]Callista[/name_f] vs [name_f]Callie[/name_f] is a tough one! (I’d have to add in [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] vs [name_f]Callista[/name_f] vs [name_f]Callie[/name_f] too D: ), [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivian[/name_f] is a never tricky one - [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] is so cute!

@sammaegre thank you!!! [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] for [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] so cute! [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] too, and [name_f]Miri[/name_f] for [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]!
And there are so, so many good ‘Annie’ full names - and yet, [name_f]Annie[/name_f] is so sweet on it’s own

@OctaviaMay thank you!! That makes sense - I know short forms as given names aren’t for all! [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] nn [name_f]Billie[/name_f] are fabulous! [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dora[/name_f] is lovely too! [name_f]Connie[/name_f] for [name_f]Constance[/name_f] and [name_f]Billie[/name_f] for [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] are great!!
Adelheidi ‘Heidi’ is a tough one - [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] for me, but [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] is so mystical and cool! And [name_f]Roberta[/name_f] ‘Bobbie’! So cool!

@AveryExtraterrestria thank you!!!
[name_f]Penny[/name_f] for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is lovely! Always difficult when you don’t love the full name but the nn just isn’t ‘enough’!

@EdgeOfTheMeadow thank you!! [name_f]Anelma[/name_f] ‘Nell’!!! Ooh, that is great. And [name_f]Indie[/name_f] for [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_m]Sol[/name_m] for [name_f]Solenne[/name_f] And how could I forget [name_f]Suvi[/name_f] for Sunniva!!! I think I have [name_f]Suvi[/name_f] as a separate name on my list, but it could so work for [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]!

[MichelleM]

Nope! [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f] seem like first names to me. It’s just about association more than length, I suppose.

I am SO glad you like!

[name_f]Yelena[/name_f] is so wonderful to me. It’s said yuh-LAY-nuh in my accent or yours, but in the original Russian it’s closer to yeel-ENN-uh.
(I think [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] Weisz doing a Russian accent does a very good job, as someone who’s also heard several actual Russian people say this name a lot. )

[Greyblue]

@MichelleM ah, that makes sense - always like to hear different perceptions on names!

@ac9nec5 thank you!!
Saffie for [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_f]Connie[/name_f] for [name_f]Constance[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] for [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] are lovely!

@snowmaiden thank you for letting me know!! That is so lovely! I like both pronunciations!
