I would like to find a girl name that is either very formal/old or very frilly sounding, something long or extravagant, but that has a very strong nickname that could be used for a tomboy or the like. I don’t want it to sound like a boy’s name, just a name that would be a strong/tough girl. I would prefer that the formal name start with either an A, or a D, though B’s and C’s are also appreciated. Best possible scenario would be if the nickname started with a T.
I have an older son named [name]Caleb[/name] and am having twin girls this time. I’ve already decided on [name]Beatrice[/name], nickname [name]Tris[/name], for one but I need anther.
[name]Antonia[/name] nickname [name]Toni[/name]? That was the first thing i thought of. [name]Anthea[/name]->[name]Thea[/name]? [name]Anastasia[/name]->[name]Tasia[/name] or Taysha? [name]Delphine[/name] nickname [name]Fia[/name] or [name]Fina[/name]?
When I read the first line the first name that popped into my head was [name]Persephone[/name] with the nickname [name]Percy[/name] but that doesn’t fit the letters you want, or even [name]Mattea[/name] nn [name]Tea[/name].
