One of my friends is nearly due with her first baby girl. They love the name Mishka for her pn mish (wish with an m) - ka (like cat without the t). They have been asking if it would be better to use it as a first name or as a nickname for Marishka (mah-rish-ka)? Her mn will be [name]Alexis[/name], surname Nemova.
I initially went what??!! when she told me her choice but it’s growing on me now! [name]Just[/name] wondering what you thought? Better as fn or nn?
Yes! I totally agree, I immediately though of [name]Mischa[/name] when I saw this thread, [name]Mischa[/name] is softer and prettier. However, Marishka is cool and Mishka would be a cool nn for it. I think it sounds pretty neat with their last name too.
