I’m really just curious about whether any of you geniuses out there could come up with a few decent nickname options for [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]. I love the name and work with herbs on a daily bases, so obviously lavender is a big deal in my household. However, Lav sounds awfully harsh to me. I thought of something like “Endie” but… it still doesn’t hit the right spot. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you guys have any ideas?
Thank you so much!
I’m partial to Venda myself!
Venda and Endie could definitely work!
Some other ideas…
Lavvie
[name_f]Avie[/name_f]*
[name_f]Ava[/name_f]
Aven
Vendie
[name_f]Evvie[/name_f]*
Lav and Lavvy mean “toilet” in the UK!
I’ve seen [name_f]Indie[/name_f] suggested before, which is a bit of a stretch but may appeal to you?
Ender
[name_f]Vivi[/name_f]
[name_f]Veda[/name_f]/[name_u]Vida[/name_u]
[name_u]Vinnie[/name_u]
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_u]Laney[/name_u]
[name_f]Lulu[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f]… anything that plays off the L really
I like previous suggestions of [name_f]Indie[/name_f], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f]! When [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] was in my signature I had the nn [name_f]Lula[/name_f], which is as @katinka said, playing off the L.
When I was looking at the Comments section for [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] once, a user suggested [name_f]Dilly[/name_f] as a nn. Like the nursery rhyme “Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue…”. I thought that that was lovely and very creative!
Thank you guys so much! I absolutely [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the suggestion of [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] ” I could definitely see myself singsonging “[name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Lulu[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]” all the time. It would be annoying and adorable all at once.
Endie/[name_f]Indie[/name_f] are definitely growing on me and I kind of liked [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] too… You guys have definitely given me a few to think about!
I have [name_f]Enna[/name_f] (N-a) for [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], and Lal from the initials of my [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] combo.
Lavi/y
[name_m]Ven[/name_m]
[name_f]Vennie[/name_f]/y
[name_m]Ven[/name_m]
Ennie/y
Dery (Pronounced "Der-[name_f]Ree[/name_f])
I think [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or Ev would would very well for the name [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], which I think is a super cool name!

I just had a conversation at dinner that went like this–
A: oh, I bet they will use a flower name… like [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]!
B: but what nn would you call a girl named [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]?
Me, without even thinking about it: [name_u]Andy[/name_u].*
A, B, and C: yeah, I could see that, I would call her [name_u]Andy[/name_u].
*Could also be spelled [name_f]Andie[/name_f].
