I just came across the name [name_f]Emunah[/name_f] (eh-MOO-nuh) which would naturally gove you the nickname [name_u]Moon[/name_u]!

@LibelluleClaire [name_f]Emunah[/name_f] is lovely!! That just reminded me of a kid at work who was always listed on the register as [name_u]Moon[/name_u], which I thought was interesting since her sister had a popular Arabic name, but her full name was along the lines of Mun!ra

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to add that my own name “William” comes prepacked with these. [name_u]Will[/name_u] and [name_m]Bill[/name_m] are fairly obvious but Whim / [name_m]Wim[/name_m] are also vintage nicknames for [name_u]William[/name_u] here in the UK.
Yam or Yum is a lot rarer but I have encountered them as nicknames (there’s a couple of different pronunciations, these are based on ways to say the final syllable “-iam”)

I’m really liking [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] ‘Giddy’/‘Happy’ (that’s a fun way to get to Happy), [name_u]Henry[/name_u] ‘Happy’, [name_m]Felix[/name_m] ‘Lucky’ and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] ‘Wren’
(I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ‘Bash’ counts!)
