[name]Eleanor[/name] (nn [name]Ellie[/name] or [name]Nora[/name]) - I adore [name]Eleanor[/name] but I avoid it for this very reason–I am really not a huge fan of the nns [name]Ellie[/name] or [name]Nora[/name]. That’s just personal style, however, haha–[name]Eleanor[/name] is lovely! I personally prefer the nns [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Elea[/name].
[name]Eliza[/name] - like a lot. It used to be my favorite girls’ name (was one of my favorites from as far as I can remember), but then everyone else fell for it and I can’t help but feel disappointed at how mainstream it seems to be.
[name]Evangeline[/name] (nn [name]Evie[/name]) - love the full name and the sweet, sweet nn [name]Evie[/name]! Adorable. [name]Evangeline[/name]'s a MN on my own list.
[name]Guinevere[/name] (nn [name]Vera[/name]) - I prefer other long “G” names like [name]Gwendolyn[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name], but this is lovely, too. I prefer [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Winnie[/name], or [name]Neve[/name] as a nn above [name]Vera[/name], but [name]Vera[/name] is lovely.
[name]Lucia[/name] or [name]Lucienne[/name] (nn [name]Lucy[/name]) - I like [name]Lucia[/name] more than [name]Lucienne[/name]. [name]Lucia[/name] is so charming and has been a longtime favorite. I’m not terribly fond of [name]Lucy[/name], but I know it is well-loved…
[name]Juliet[/name] (nn [name]Jules[/name]) - I like [name]Juliet[/name] a lot, but prefer it as a mn. I like [name]Jules[/name] a ton more than [name]Julie[/name]… I think Juju, [name]Etta[/name], [name]Lettie[/name], [name]Jewel[/name], etc., would be adorable alternative nns, too.
[name]Nadia[/name] - love. The meaning–“hope”–is so… well, hopeful, haha, and I love it. I’ve considered [name]Nadia[/name] in the mn spot for years now. I love it.
[name]Piper[/name] - awww. I adore [name]Piper[/name] and it’s on my top 20. I love it, and the nn [name]Pippa[/name]. I don’t know if I would use it but I love it.
[name]Scarlett[/name] - not my thing at all, sorry. I love -et names but I’ve never been crazy about this. I like [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name], and even [name]Juliet[/name], more than this…
[name]Serena[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. It’s so sweet and serene. I would love to meet a little [name]Serena[/name].
[name]Talullah[/name] (nn [name]Lulu[/name]) - love this, and the nn [name]Lulu[/name]. I wouldn’t be brave enough to use it myself, but I do consider it as a MN sometimes, since it’s a nn I use sometimes for my baby sister.
[name]Viviana[/name] (nn [name]Vivi[/name]) - oooh, I had seen [name]Vivi[/name] when I glanced at your list before replying, but I figured it was just for [name]Vivienne[/name]… I’m SO much more impressed with this–[name]Viviana[/name] is full of so much life and she’s so fiesty. I love her.
I adore so many of these, but [name]Serena[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Nadia[/name], and [name]Piper[/name] are my favorites.
[name]Eleanor[/name] (nn [name]Ellie[/name] or [name]Nora[/name]) - I’m not a big fan of [name]Eleanor[/name].
[name]Eliza[/name] - I love [name]Eliza[/name], it’s so sweet and classic.
[name]Evangeline[/name] (nn [name]Evie[/name]) -[name]Love[/name] love love [name]Evangeline[/name]! I don’t like the nickname [name]Evie[/name] though. What about [name]Angie[/name]?
[name]Guinevere[/name] (nn [name]Vera[/name]) - Very classy. I like it.
[name]Lucia[/name] or [name]Lucienne[/name] (nn [name]Lucy[/name]) - [name]Love[/name] [name]Lucia[/name]. I don’t like [name]Lucienne[/name] however.
[name]Juliet[/name] (nn [name]Jules[/name]) - Cute. Especially with the nickname [name]Jules[/name].
[name]Nadia[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Nadia[/name]!
[name]Piper[/name] - So cute!
[name]Scarlett[/name] - I love [name]Scarlett[/name]! It’s so classy and feminine.
[name]Serena[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name]!
[name]Talullah[/name] (nn [name]Lulu[/name]) - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Viviana[/name] (nn [name]Vivi[/name]) - [name]Love[/name]!
