Help[Opinions] Re: nickname help. Also: Rosalind! + Also! Penelope!
in reply to a message by Tippins
I would use:
Rosalind 'Rose'
Adelaide 'Ada'
Penelope 'Penny'
Cordelia 'Cordy'
I like Octavia and Minerva, but none of the nns I can think of.
I just can't stand Lucretia, my first thought is always 'excretia'.
Ermengarde isn't ugly, but I can't see it being usable as a fn.

Thanks for the feedback. I love Lucretia, I do not care about excretia and I think people that meet my hypothetical Lucretia will get over that pretty fast.
Anyway, my question was about nicknames for Ermengarde :P I'm pretty set on the others. I don't like Cordy much, it sounds silly to me, but it's good to know someone likes it! Ada is nice for Adelaide but I find it a bit contrived as I say Ada AE-da and Adelaide ADDA-lade.
I think Ermengarde is usable *shrug* I know a girl named Caress who doesn't have any trouble. The only thing sticky about it is its lack of nicknames that aren't Minnie. I like Enga though.
