Names that can shorten to Saf

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!!

I’m looking for names (preferably girls, but if you have boys suggestions I’d love to hear too!!) that can have the nickname Saf (rhyming with laugh rather than cough)

I’m totally open to stretchy options too, whatever your imagination can conjure up!! Right now my favorite is Rosafiere (ro-suh-FEE-ruh), and I’m not crazy about [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] or [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], but anything else is fair game!!

Can’t wait to see what you all come up with!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Mix of masc, fem, and neutral. Some are stretchier than others!
