imagine: in a book you’re reading, there’s a character named Jupirah who is called Jude as a pet name. your response is (closest to)…
Maybe Maudelyn? [name_m]Or[/name_m] Maudelin? Honestly I just picture the word maudlin but wouldn’t suggest that spelling because the word doesn’t have a meaning I’d want to give a kid personally.
I want to say maud-uh-lin/line for these. Personally I’d just go for Maudlen or maybe Maudlene.
Thank you for your votes, and have a marvelous day!!

my favourite maud-lin spelling is Maudlyn
Aurelian = uh-reh/ray-lee-un
Aurelien = aw-ruh-lee-ehn
It’s just a GP but I do love it, even [name_f]Maudlin[/name_f]. Thank you!
im looking for a feminine girl name with a little spice
spelling
favorites on my mind <3
its a little of a stretch (the best nns always are haha), but i think i would realize it after looking at his name for a second. also if its only a pet name i think it doesn’t quite matter as much to the reader, and is easier to look over.
lately i love double e’s! sometimes it looks awkward but i think wrenlee is gorgeous!!
bookish, quiet, academic, dreamy, someone that thinks before they act, wishful, longing for something beyond the ordinary, wanting things they don’t have, responsible, awkward, and restless
cold, harsh, strict, domineering, sharp-tongued, an injured heart under a stern demeanor, a teacher, a matron, a mistress of a house with many servants
Quirky, whimsical, care-free, spirited, messy but things always work out for her, effortlessly graceful and stylish, chic, restless, playful, not bound by rules or restrictions, indifferent to social norms, ‘manic-pixie-dream girl’.
I can see how it makes sense for a nn but in the context of a story how much it would throw me off would depend on how it was introduced. If the scene where the other version of their name was introcued made it very clear that this is the same person I would be totally fine. If it was not super clear it would probably take me a second and a reread of the context clues to figure it out and then I would be fine.
Yay

Been reading some Bible verses lately. 
For context, these are two names that are infrequently used to refer to God. Would you consider that sacrilege to give to a child?
