Nicknames for Sabine/Sabina?

Not considering using this name, I’m just wondering if anyone knows of any nicknames for [name]Sabine[/name]/[name]Sabina[/name]? This was my mother’s almost name and apparently my grandfather wanted to call her ‘Beanie’, which isn’t to my taste Any other ideas?

I absolutely love [name]Sabina[/name]!

I used it in a story once, and her nn was [name]Bina[/name] (bee-nah). I also love the idea of Sabby or just [name]Abby[/name] as a nn, or even [name]Bea[/name]?

I would call her Bean I think it’s kinda cute.

I have a close friend who is originally from Mexico. They are planning to name thir baby if a girl: [name]Sabina[/name] [name]Adriana[/name]. It’s pretty, but I just can’t wrap myself around [name]Sabina[/name]… as for nn’s I would go with [name]Abby[/name], or [name]Nina[/name].

My sister is [name]Sabrina[/name] and we call her [name]Bina[/name], so I imagine someone named [name]Sabina[/name] would be called [name]Bina[/name] as well. I think some of the other nicknames listed are a stretch. I think it has to be kind of instinctual, and not forced.
