Nickname for Magnolia?

We are planning on using Magnolia as a full name, but want to give her a short nickname and we are split between [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. What are everyone’s thoughts?

My biggest concern is giving her a unique name so she never has to use her last initial (which is B.) growing up. I know Oli, Lia and Nola have been thrown out as nicknames for Magnolia, but they don’t quite fit for us.

My name is [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] and I’ve gone by a mixture of [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Mags[/name_f], and [name_f]Mallie[/name_f] (like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] but with an ah sound) my whole life. I’ve also only ever met one other [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], and never shared a class with one, so I don’t find it that popular for my age range and younger.

From your list, I really love Oli! It sounds really cute for a girl.

Maggie comes most naturally I think. [name_f]Nell[/name_f] seems a little bit of a stretch, but I really like it.

Maggie is so sweet and feels like the most natural nn for [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], imo. But I can honestly see any of the options you listed working well! In a similar vein to [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], you could also do [name_f]Molly[/name_f]/Mollie–the M, o, l, and i are all there!

Instead of [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_u]Noli[/name_u].

I love [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]! [name_f]Meg[/name_f] could work probably. Oli/Olly would be sooooo great! [name_f]Nia[/name_f] could be one idea. [name_f]Mally[/name_f] is so cute, and so is [name_f]Molly[/name_f]!

I love [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Mags[/name_f]!

I love [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]! [name_f]Nolia[/name_f] would be cute too :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

[name_f]Mae[/name_f] is my favorite! (It’s my nn, so I’m rather partial to it!) It’s so simple and sweet! Perfect nn for [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]!

Maggie or [name_f]Meg[/name_f]

Good luck!
