Here’s my list in no particular order:

  • [name]Emmy[/name]
  • [name]Shiloh[/name] (nn [name]Lola[/name])
  • [name]Debra[/name] (nn [name]Debbie[/name])
  • [name]Lucienne[/name] (nn [name]LuLu[/name])
  • [name]Indigo[/name] (nn [name]Indie[/name])
  • [name]Elizabetta[/name] (nn [name]Tibby[/name])
  • [name]Anja[/name] (An-YA)
  • [name]Serafina[/name]
  • [name]Tess[/name]

Any help, criticism or suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

  • [name]Emmy[/name] - cute but sounds a little awkward to me
  • [name]Shiloh[/name] (nn [name]Lola[/name]) - I like [name]Shiloh[/name]. I really dislike [name]Lola[/name].
  • [name]Debra[/name] (nn [name]Debbie[/name]) [name]Debbie[/name] is fine, but [name]Debra[/name] is middle-aged now. [name]Deborah[/name] is better.
  • [name]Lucienne[/name] (nn [name]LuLu[/name]) - Pretty, I prefer [name]Lucy[/name]
  • [name]Indigo[/name] (nn [name]Indie[/name]) - Very cool, especially nn [name]Indie[/name]
  • [name]Elizabetta[/name] (nn [name]Tibby[/name]) - [name]Just[/name] too much for me. Dislike [name]Tibby[/name]
  • [name]Anja[/name] (An-YA) - Why not [name]Anya[/name]?
  • [name]Serafina[/name] - Why not [name]Seraphina[/name]? Again, just a little too much
  • [name]Tess[/name] - Cute and pretty. Like.

Suggestions: [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Willa[/name], [name]Estelle[/name], [name]Anastasia[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Dinah[/name], [name]Evie[/name]

  • [name]Emmy[/name] - I love [name]Emmy[/name] as a NN but I think it needs a longer name to go with it [name]Emily[/name]? [name]Emmeline[/name]? [name]Emiliana[/name]? [name]Emilia[/name]? [name]Emerson[/name]?
  • [name]Shiloh[/name] (nn [name]Lola[/name]) I love [name]Lola[/name] but [name]Shiloh[/name] is all boy to me
  • [name]Debra[/name] (nn [name]Debbie[/name]) - This one seems really dated, I don’t know that I can see a baby [name]Debbie[/name]
  • [name]Lucienne[/name] (nn [name]LuLu[/name]) - Very pretty, [name]Lulu[/name] is adorable
  • [name]Indigo[/name] (nn [name]Indie[/name]) - I love [name]Indigo[/name], it is a major GP for me, I don’t think it needs a NN though, it takes away from the beauty
  • [name]Elizabetta[/name] (nn [name]Tibby[/name]) - [name]Tibby[/name] is ok but it really clashes with [name]Elizabetta[/name] to me, I think it is to much of a stretch, [name]Betty[/name], [name]Etta[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], or something would sound so much better
  • [name]Anja[/name] (An-YA) - For this pronunciation I would spell it [name]Anya[/name], or else it could get confusing, but it works
  • [name]Serafina[/name] - I like the [name]Seraphina[/name] spelling better but I love the name either way!
  • [name]Tess[/name] - I like it, but I like it better as a nn for [name]Theresa[/name] or [name]Therese[/name]

[name]Emmy[/name]- Cute, but feels like a nn
[name]Shiloh[/name]- [name]Love[/name] the name, dislike the nn [name]Lola[/name] (I don’t like any of the names that stem from [name]Lolita[/name], its just wrong…)
[name]Debra[/name] - Dated. I could get past that, but it seems really out of place with the rest of the names you like.
[name]Lucienne[/name] - Im not sure. It looks very French. It’s pretty and [name]Lulu[/name] is cute but see above comment.
[name]Indigo[/name]/[name]Indie[/name] - Probably my favourite fn/nn combo
[name]Elizabetta[/name] - I like the nn [name]Tibby[/name], but not sure it goes with this name. This one feels Italian.
[name]Anja[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this but prefer spelling [name]Anya[/name].
[name]Serafina[/name] - I love this spelt either way. Very pretty.
[name]Tess[/name] - The cutest of them all. But looks like a short form compared to the rest of your list.

nextotonormal14- I like the name [name]Anastasia[/name], but it seems a little… princessy.

Maybe some of the names WOULD do better without nns. I’m beginning to like [name]Shiloh[/name] and [name]Elizabetta[/name] without, but the rest still with.

Also, what about [name]Justine[/name]?

[name]Love[/name] [name]Justine[/name]! So pretty and cool. Maybe it could replace [name]Debra[/name]?
