• names with adorable and obscure nicknames •

hi berries!

i’m hoping you all can help me add to this list i’m making. so far i have:

frances “fig”
penelope “pepper”
wilhelmina “whim”
imogen “iggy”
theodosia “doe”

i’m looking for any names with nicknames that may not be the most intuitive but are still quirky, fun, and sweet.

thanks in advance :yellow_heart:

“peaches” has historically been a nickname for priscilla, which i think is really cute! i’m also fond of “bean” for sabine or sabina but that may be too obvious :))
