I love a rare botanical name and I’ve liked [name_f]Celandine[/name_f] for years. What do you think the most likely nn would be? What other nn’s can you think of – they can be very stretchy, I’d like to hear them all!
I’m not having any more children, this is just for fun.
Pronunciation and photos
[name_f]Celandine[/name_f] is PN like SEL-un-dine with dine like Come [name_f]Dine[/name_f] With Me. I don’t mind ‘deen’ or -an- used interchangeably as the middle syllable but SEL-un-dine is what I stick to.
I think I’d default to calling her Cel !! But I could see other nicknames working too, like Cellie, Cece, Cela (like Selah), Lani, Dina (dee-nah) and Dani?
Some of these might be less intuitive, but here are some nicknames:
[name_f]Dina[/name_f]
[name_f]Diane[/name_f]
[name_f]Nela[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Elen[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Ann[/name_f]
[name_f]Andie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cece[/name_f]
Andine
[name_f]My[/name_f] first instinct would be Cel or [name_f]Cela[/name_f] but could also be Celan, Cellie/Celi, [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Dina[/name_f], [name_m]Lan[/name_m], [name_f]Lani[/name_f] or even [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Elani[/name_f], and going more into the meaning of the name: [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
