This might be too niche for here-but does anyone have Orthodox saints names for girls that they love? I love a formal name with a great nickname but really any saint name that works well in [name_f]English[/name_f] works for me!
I put some nickname possibilities in parentheses.
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (Addie, [name_f]Della[/name_f], Lady)
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] (Alex, [name_u]Lexi[/name_u], [name_m]Xan[/name_m], Allie)
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] (Ana, [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Nat[/name_u], Tia)
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] (Ellie, [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_u]Lisa[/name_u], [name_f]Lissy[/name_f], [name_f]Betty[/name_f], Beth)
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] (Thea, [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], Dora)
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (Gen, [name_f]Vivi[/name_f], Nev)
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f] (Julie, [name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_f]Liana[/name_f], Ana)
Plus a last one, that may be too ‘out there’ for you, but I personally adore it – [name_f]Scholastica[/name_f]!

Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I had not thought of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]. [name_f]Scholastica[/name_f] is definitely out there but I always love to learn a new name
