Help[Opinions] Jinny (m) as a nickname for what?
I'm writing a series of short stories involving a set of characters. (For trivia: their names are Harold, Roland, Kate, Gerard, Lyle, Dexter, Matthew, John, Augustine, Yuri, and Cedric, and there are a few more girls I haven't named or developed yet.) Kate has a pet falcon whom I've called Jinny who hunts for her. When I named Jinny, I didn't expect it to last - same with John, Matthew, Augustine, Lyle, Roland, and Kate actually - but I have found (with all of these) that I really can't bring myself psychologically to change their names even slightly. But Jinny I had intended to be a nickname anyway. It's not Jenny or Ginny, it's Jinny.
Anyway, I've been thinking Juvenal is probably the most appropriate choice, given Kate's extremely nostalgic/romantic personality. January might also work, but Juvenal is winning over that. But I still think it would be interesting to see other ideas for what names could possibly work with this.
(I don't think it's a very good name, BTW, but I do think it's interesting. You may give opinions on it if you wish. (Jinny, that is. I think Juvenal's amazing.))

It's an actual nickname for Jean
My grandmother Jean used to get called Jinny by her Scottish relatives when she was a child. It's basically Jeannie but with the very short vowels you find in some Scottish accents (think of Billy Connelly saying it and you'll get the idea).
If I have a daughter named Jean (which is touch and go at the moment, it might be a middle name), she'd be called Jinny.
