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? ---

I actually used to hate the name [name\_f]Josephine[/name\_f] but eventually fell in love with it through the nickname [name\_u]Josie[/name\_u]. Now [name\_f]Josephine[/name\_f] is one of my top names, if I ever get to use it I’ll probably call her [name\_u]Josie[/name\_u] half the time 😃 ---
