Nessa is short for

Any ideas? Thank you!

Most commonly, [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f].

Also: [name_f]Renesmee[/name_f], [name_f]Agnessa[/name_f], [name_f]Anessa[/name_f], [name_f]Genessa[/name_f], Ginessa, [name_f]Inessa[/name_f], Ionessa, [name_f]Jennessa[/name_f], Lynessa, Phanessa, [name_f]Venessa[/name_f].

[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], of course. But also [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], Annessa (sp?), [name_f]Ernestine[/name_f], [name_u]Genesis[/name_u], [name_u]Tennessee[/name_u] … maybe [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]?

i was poking around the site… WDYT of [name_f]Nerissa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nessa[/name_f]?

[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]. [name_f]Nerissa[/name_f] works too.

I was going to say [name_f]Nerissa[/name_f]! And if you like musical theater, theres always the whimsical Nessarose from Wicked.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Inessa[/name_f] because I’ve never known a [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_f]Agnessa[/name_f], [name_f]Ernestina[/name_f] and [name_f]Inessa[/name_f], but these could also work:

[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], [name_f]Anessa[/name_f], [name_f]Jenessa[/name_f], [name_f]Nesima[/name_f], [name_f]Nessia[/name_f], [name_f]Yanesi[/name_f], [name_f]Nerissa[/name_f].

I also think [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] is lovely on her own. There is also Nessarose, à la Wicked, which is also quite pretty.

In Twilight, [name_f]Bella[/name_f]'s daughter [name_f]Renesmee[/name_f] is nicknamed [name_f]Nessie[/name_f].

I absolutely love the name [name_f]Nerissa[/name_f] and think [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] would be a darling nickname for it.
