Apart from more obvious alternatives, I might be open to buying it on
Esther or
Estera (if I didn't dislike
Esther so much),
Estefania,
Natasha,
Alessandra, or
Anastasia,
Anastacia,
Anastasie, etc. It's a tough one; the Nes- and -nes aren't incredibly common. But I like
Nell for
Eleanor, as an example, so I don't think the sounds of a nickname need to be exclusively taken from the full name itself.
