I’m the anti nicknamer. I’ll pass😀

Typically, I don’t tend to prefer nns. I would either call my child by the full name they are given or name them the nn I love to begin with. For example, I wouldn’t name my daughter [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and call her [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], I would just name her [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
But there are a few I find especially sweet that I wouldn’t use as a standalone fn:
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Cordi[/name_f]”
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] “[name_f]Lotte[/name_f]”
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] “[name_f]Edie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] “[name_f]Libby[/name_f]”
[name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] “[name_f]Emmy[/name_f]”
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] “[name_f]Evie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] “[name_f]Posie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] “Prim”
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] “[name_f]Vivi[/name_f]”
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] “[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]”

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Manon[/name_f] - [name_f]Marge[/name_f]

13

One of the names I love most at the moment is [name_f]Maria[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f], with the nickname [name_f]Malu[/name_f] (emphasis on the last syllable). Since [name_f]Maria[/name_f] names are so common in Latin American countries/Iberian peninsula composite nicknames are not uncommon.

Also:
[name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] - Ofé
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] - [name_f]Glory[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f] - [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] or just V

14

I like nicknames but would use the full name more.

[name_f]Callista[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Calla[/name_f] or Lissy. I don’t mind [name_f]Callie[/name_f] if she wants to go by that when she’s older.
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Lina[/name_f] or [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. However, I pronounce [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] eh-vuh-lina so I’m not sure how well [name_f]Eva[/name_f] will work.
[name_f]Serafina[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Fina[/name_f] or [name_f]Fia[/name_f]. Also don’t mind [name_f]Sera[/name_f] so if she would like to go by that.
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f] ~ Aless or Lissy. I don’t mind [name_u]Ali[/name_u] either.

Longer list:
[name_f]Annora[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Aura[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleonora[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], or [name_f]Nora[/name_f],
[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Mira[/name_f] or [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Elysia[/name_f] ~ Lissy
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Arianne[/name_f] ~ [name_u]Ari[/name_u]
[name_f]Elisabetta[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Elisa[/name_f], Lissy, or [name_f]Etta[/name_f]

My favorites:

[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f] (go by nickname)
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] (go by nickname)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], nn [name_f]Janey[/name_f] ([name_u]Jay[/name_u]-nee) (occasional nickname)
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f], nn [name_u]Jet[/name_u] (occasional nickname)
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], nn [name_u]Lee[/name_u] (occasional nickname)
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Tiana[/name_f], nn [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] (occasional nickname)

16

I almost never like a name unless it has nicknames. Nicknames are my favorite! My current favorites are:

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Kathlyn[/name_f]- This is the only one that I don’t have a strong nickname for (and it’s my all time favorite!) so she’d probably just be pet name type things like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-Bellie or [name_f]Ella[/name_f]-[name_f]Bella[/name_f] or something like that. I’ve thought about [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u] too.

[name_f]Maddalena[/name_f]- My favorite nickname is [name_f]Lena[/name_f], but [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] would work if she wanted something more common.

[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]- [name_u]Aza[/name_u], [name_u]Aza[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], or [name_f]Zelie[/name_f].

[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]- [name_u]Lorrie[/name_u] (would probably only be an occasional nickname) or maybe [name_f]Lila[/name_f]?

[name_f]Alianna[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]- [name_f]Ally[/name_f]/[name_f]Aly[/name_f]/[name_u]Ali[/name_u], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], or [name_f]Ally[/name_f] [name_f]Kat[/name_f].

[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]- [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] or [name_u]Cass[/name_u]

[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]- [name_f]Rhia[/name_f] or [name_f]Rhia[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f].

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (double first)- LJ

[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (from the first sounds both names), [name_u]Nat[/name_u], or [name_f]Talie[/name_f].

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]- [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], or [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] (I like [name_f]Belle[/name_f] on the ends of names, if you couldn’t tell :slight_smile: )

17

Some of my favorite names don’t lend themselves well to nicknames, unfortunately.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]- Fliss, Lissy, Lissy [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (from mn), or possible CiCi
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]- Ev, [name_m]Rhett[/name_m], EJ or LJ (depending on which mn order we use…LJ comes from the sound of the initials ELJ)
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]- [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]- [name_f]Tabby[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]- [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]- [name_f]Em[/name_f] (although a close friend uses this as a nickname, so possibly confusing), [name_f]Emer[/name_f], [name_u]Sonny[/name_u] (don’t love this one)

18
