Unexpected Nicknames

[writersrock]

So, I’m going to try my hand at making a game. We’ll see how well this goes

Anyway, my idea was that one person will post a list of eight to ten girl’s names, then the next will come up with unexpected nicknames for each of them and post their own list.
By unexpected, I don’t mean they have to be crazy (though they can be if you want!) just not the first thing that comes to mind. For example, [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] could be something like Aily or perhaps [name_f]Gail[/name_f], not [name_u]Abby[/name_u]. [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]: [name_f]Leena[/name_f], rather than [name_f]Kathy[/name_f]. [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]: [name_u]Lee[/name_u], not [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. And they don’t have to be listed in the database; feel free to make some up!
If people like it, I’ll probably start a boy’s version.

Start with:
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
