I’m trying to find a name for Efffy’s (short for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]) sister. I’d like them to have names that go together, so a classic full name and an unexpected nickname.
My list so far:
[name_u]Romy[/name_u] (short for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f])
[name_f]Joni[/name_f] (short for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f])
[name_m]Lenny[/name_m] (short for [name_f]Lenore[/name_f])
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] (short for [name_f]Louise[/name_f])
Thanks!
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Joni[/name_f]!
I quite like them all although for me [name_u]Lou[/name_u] isn’t unexpected nickname so I wouldn’t personally choose that one.
Alternative for [name_m]Lenny[/name_m] could also be [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] which I think it’s lovely with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
