Nicknames for Jordan?

Hey! [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] (and I’m a girl) and I hate my name. It’s not feminine to me at all, and doesn’t suit me. I’m trying to change my name when I move away at the end of the year, but I’m not sure what to! I figured a nickname for [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] that gets as far away form [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] as possible would be great!

Any ideas?
Thanks :slight_smile:

Hm, the only nicknames I can think of are [name_m]Jordy[/name_m], Jord and [name_u]Jori[/name_u]… you could even go with [name_u]Dani[/name_u]. I used to know a girl with a more feminine version of [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], [name_f]Jordanne[/name_f].

[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_u]Joan[/name_u]/[name_f]Joanie[/name_f]
[name_u]Dani[/name_u]
[name_u]Jan[/name_u]
Jord/[name_m]Jordy[/name_m]

I have a 10 year old neighbour who is a [name_u]Jordyn[/name_u] - we call her [name_u]Jojo[/name_u].

One of my best friends is a [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] who goes by Josci (jo-see). :slight_smile: [name_u]Jay[/name_u], [name_u]Jory[/name_u] or [name_u]Danny[/name_u] are also good suggestions.

I really like the nn [name_m]Jorah[/name_m] for [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]/[name_f]Jordanna[/name_f] (pronounced Jor-uh).

[name_u]Jojo[/name_u] was my first thought as well, I like the suggestion of [name_u]Jan[/name_u]!

I would suggest…

[name_f]Annie[/name_f]/[name_f]Ani[/name_f]/[name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_u]Jody[/name_u]
[name_f]Judy[/name_f]

Without looking through the comments- Sorry for repeats!

[name_f]Jordie[/name_f]
[name_u]JoJo[/name_u]
[name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_u]Joey[/name_u]
[name_f]Joella[/name_f]
[name_u]Jo[/name_u]-[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]DeeDee[/name_f]
[name_u]Dani[/name_u]
[name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_u]Jorie[/name_u]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Day[/name_u]
[name_u]Denny[/name_u]
[name_u]Ray[/name_u] (definitely a stretch)
[name_f]Raya[/name_f] (see above)
[name_f]Jenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Enna[/name_f]/[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Ora[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Orna[/name_f]
Ordy
Nordie
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] I helped! Sorry about any repeats, once again.

[name_u]Jory[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Dani[/name_u], [name_u]JoJo[/name_u], [name_f]Jora[/name_f]?

What is your middle name? You could go by the that?

What do you think of your middle name, if you have one? Or combine the first and middle name as is traditional in some places. [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]-> [name_u]Jo[/name_u]-[name_f]Beth[/name_f]

Have you read The Great [name_m]Gatsby[/name_m]? It made me really love [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] for a girl. I think of the country and the river too - they’re all great associations.

No nickname ideas - sorry! But [name_u]Jojo[/name_u] and [name_u]Jory[/name_u] are cute. [name_f]My[/name_f] cousin goes by [name_u]Jojo[/name_u] almost all the time (her name is [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]) but we call her Jojie and Jodge too which could both work.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first ideas were [name_u]Rory[/name_u] (not so feminine) and [name_f]Annie[/name_f] (which is much better). I think [name_u]Josie[/name_u] could work, too, or even [name_f]Rora[/name_f]/[name_f]Dora[/name_f], honestly. More of a stretch for those, though?

I always like [name_u]Jay[/name_u] :slight_smile:

[name_u]Jordan[/name_u] nns:

[name_u]Jody[/name_u]/[name_u]Jodi[/name_u]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_u]Dani[/name_u]/[name_u]Dannie[/name_u]
[name_f]Ora[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanie[/name_f]
[name_u]Jonnie[/name_u]/[name_f]Johnni[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Annie[/name_f], I think it takes you pretty far from [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]. Could you use your middle name?
ie. A name I saw earlier today was [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cammy[/name_f] - [name_f]Ca[/name_f] from [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]My[/name_f] from [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f].
Could you do something like that?
oh idea:
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Jo[/name_u] - An
[name_u]Joan[/name_u]
[name_f]Joanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanne[/name_f]
[name_u]Joan[/name_u]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
ect. You get the picture

[name_m]Judd[/name_m] was the medieval short form of [name_u]Jordan[/name_u].

People have mentioned great suggestions. I really like [name_m]Jordy[/name_m], [name_f]Jora[/name_f], [name_u]Jojo[/name_u], [name_u]Jody[/name_u], and [name_u]Jay[/name_u] for you. Knowing your middle name would give us more options.

what about:
Jordina
Jordita
[name_m]Dan[/name_m], [name_u]Dana[/name_u], [name_f]Danica[/name_f]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_m]Jock[/name_m]
[name_m]Joran[/name_m]
[name_f]Joni[/name_f]
[name_m]Jonny[/name_m]
[name_u]Jay[/name_u]-[name_u]Jay[/name_u]
Joon
[name_f]Nana[/name_f]
[name_u]River[/name_u] ([name_u]Jordan[/name_u]? Maybe it’s a stretch…)

[name_u]Jory[/name_u]/[name_u]Jori[/name_u] is my favorite nn for [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]. Have you thought about putting an “a” at the end of your name? I think [name_f]Jordana[/name_f] is pretty, but there is a makeup line called [name_f]Jordana[/name_f], so I don’t know if that would bother you.

I too love the ravishing name [name_f]Jordana[/name_f]. (Rhymes with [name_f]Donna[/name_f]). It’s ultra-femme and very grown up, whereas [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] is youthful and androgynous.

[name_m]Jordy[/name_m]/[name_m]Jordi[/name_m]/Jordii is the name all the [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]'s I know go boy

Thanks everyone!

I really like [name_u]Jo[/name_u] - but we have both cousins and a close family friend that goes by these names! It would feel like I was stealing them or something.

I’m not a fan of [name_u]Jory[/name_u] or [name_m]Jordy[/name_m] - I personally just don’t like how they sound.

I love [name_f]Annie[/name_f]/[name_f]Anna[/name_f] but once again I know someone close with this name… though I may not let that stop me with this one :confused:

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like [name_u]Danny[/name_u]/[name_m]Dan[/name_m]/et cetera.

I use to go by [name_u]Rory[/name_u], but it just doesn’t feel right. I’ll probably go back to this at one point, though.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Josie[/name_u], but I’m unsure if it suits me.

[name_f]Kinda[/name_f] like [name_f]Ora[/name_f], but it’s a bit to close to oral for me, which isn’t a nice connotation.

[name_u]Jay[/name_u] would work well. [name_m]Both[/name_m] my first and middle initial have this letter :stuck_out_tongue:

For everyone asking about my middle name, it’s my mothers maiden name, pronounced [name_u]JAY[/name_u]-GO. But both her and my grandfather go by that. Calling myself that would feel even worse than stealing [name_f]Annie[/name_f] or [name_u]Jo[/name_u].
