Help[Opinions] Re: Esperanza and an awfully contrived nickname
in reply to a message by Rosa
I love Esperanza. Nancy is cute and I can see it as a nn for Esperanza. Then again, I can see Boogaboo as a nn for Esperanza too, so I may not have the same disciplined approach to nns that you do.
I just did a google search and Esperance is a town in Australia. But it's not a word in French, unless i'm really, really rusty. The French word for hope is "espoir," not "esperance." (If I'm wrong on that someone please correct me.)
Traditionally, Nancy is a nn for Anne / Nan. Did you consider those options (Anna, Hannah, Nan, Anzia, etc.) Other thoughts: Frances / Francisca, Susanne / Suzanne, Anastasia / Nastya?
Not that you asked, but I adore Constanza. :-)
