Have any of you decided on a girl name by building from a nickname you love? Thinking about this because I love our nickname “[name_u]Fee[/name_u]/Fi” for our daughter [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]. Made me think of naming our next child with nicknames in mind first.
What are girl nicknames you love and the full, given names they could turn into?
Nicknames I love and full names they work as nns for:
[name_u]Lexie[/name_u] / [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Indie[/name_f] / [name_u]Indiana[/name_u]
[name_f]Lizzie[/name_f] / [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Missy[/name_f] / [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassie[/name_f] / [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f] / [name_u]November[/name_u]
[name_f]Liza[/name_f]/[name_f]Liz[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Beth[/name_f] for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bree[/name_f] for [name_f]Brianna[/name_f]/[name_f]Brielle[/name_f]
[name_u]Jess[/name_u] for [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]/[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]/[name_f]Jessamy[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]/Maise/[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]/[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

[name_f]Lu[/name_f] for [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]/[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]/[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

[name_f]Indie[/name_f] -[name_u]Indigo[/name_u], [name_f]Indira[/name_f]
