Longer non-a-ending names with intuitive 2-syllable nicknames that DO end in a

Girl Names

Confusing?

For example, I love [name]Eleanor[/name], nickname [name]Nora[/name]. That’s not a great example, though, because [name]Nora[/name] is not really that intuitive a nickname from [name]Eleanor[/name]. Are there other names that do this? I can’t think of any! Bonus if the nickname sounds good as a free-standing name.

Some are more intuitive than others but…

[name]Adelaide[/name] nn [name]Ada[/name]
[name]Anastasie[/name] nn [name]Ana[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] nn [name]Anna[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] nn [name]Dora[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Ella[/name]
[name]Emmaline[/name] nn [name]Emma[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] nn [name]Emma[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name] nn [name]Etta[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] nn [name]Mira[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] nn [name]Mia[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name] nn [name]Mia[/name]
[name]Simone[/name] nn [name]Mona[/name]
[name]Verity[/name] nn [name]Vera[/name]

I think [name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Nora[/name] is totally intuitive. [name]Nora[/name] is a popular nn for [name]Eleanor[/name]. I think [name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Ella[/name] would be a great choice, too. What about:

[name]Bellamy[/name]/[name]Isabelle[/name]/[name]Mirabelle[/name]/[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Arabelle[/name] “[name]Bella[/name]/[name]Ella[/name]”
[name]Evangeline[/name] “[name]Eva[/name]”
[name]Emmeline[/name] “[name]Emma[/name]”
[name]Amelie[/name] “[name]Mia[/name]” (similarly, [name]Emily[/name]/[name]Emilie[/name]…)
[name]Lillian[/name] “[name]Lia[/name]/[name]Lila[/name]”
[name]Genevieve[/name] “[name]Genna[/name]”
[name]Imogen[/name] “[name]Genna[/name]/Imma”
[name]Penelope[/name] “[name]Lola[/name]”
[name]Caroline[/name] “[name]Cara[/name]/[name]Lola[/name]”
[name]Zenobia[/name] “Bia”
[name]Magdalene[/name] “[name]Lena[/name]/[name]Magda[/name]”
[name]Helene[/name] “[name]Lena[/name]/[name]Ella[/name]”
[name]Catherine[/name] “[name]Kata[/name]”
[name]Beatrice[/name] “[name]Bea[/name]” (said like [name]BEE[/name]-ah or [name]BAY[/name]-ah?)
[name]Noelle[/name] “[name]Nola[/name]/[name]Noa[/name]/[name]Ella[/name]”
[name]Juliet[/name] “[name]Etta[/name]”
[name]Therese[/name] “[name]Tessa[/name]”

Good luck!
