[name]Just[/name] out of curiosity:
I adore the nn’s [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Mina[/name], and [name]Milly[/name], but I am not fond of any of the full names they are usually associated with.
Does anyone have any other ideas besides these?
[name]Tessa[/name] - [name]Teresa[/name], [name]Thessaly[/name]
[name]Mina[/name] - [name]Wilhelmina[/name], [name]Philomena[/name]
[name]Milly[/name] - [name]Camilla[/name], [name]Millicent[/name]
Thanks!
[name]Tessa[/name]-[name]Thomasina[/name]
[name]Mina[/name]-[name]Minerva[/name], [name]Jasmin[/name], [name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Milly[/name]-[name]Matilda[/name], [name]Emelia[/name], [name]Mildred[/name], [name]Melissa[/name], [name]Camille[/name]

[name]Tessa[/name] - [name]Teresa[/name], [name]Thessaly[/name] - [name]Tessa[/name] can be a name on its own. Also thought of Contessa, but that’s a very odd name.
[name]Mina[/name] - [name]Wilhelmina[/name], [name]Philomena[/name] - [name]Minerva[/name], [name]Carmen[/name], [name]Hermione[/name]
[name]Milly[/name] - [name]Camilla[/name], [name]Millicent[/name] - [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Emilia[/name], [name]Camille[/name], [name]Melisande[/name]

Lots of wonderful suggestions already! [name]Just[/name] wanted to add:
[name]Mina[/name] could be a nn for [name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name] could be a nn for [name]Vanessa[/name] (though this is definitely a stretch)
