[Opinions] Re: Nickname Survey (girls)
in reply to a message by Crista
I prefer names that have at least one nickname that I like, and that I like the first one or two syllables as a nickname, even if I don't plan to call them that (because there will always be people who automatically shorten a name to the first one or two syllables)
Elisabeth/ Elizabeth - Elsie, Lizzy, Liz, Zabby
Catherine/ Katherine - Kat, Katy, Rinny
Alexandra - I really like Alexandra, but I'm conflicted on the nicknames. I don't much like Alex or Allie, which would be inevitable, but I could warm up to it. My favorite nickname is Xandra, followed by Alexa and Sunny. I might also use Xanna or Andra. I hate Lex, Lexi. I love Xan as a nn for Alexander, but not Alexandra.
Annabelle - Belle, Bella
Margaret - Greta, Pearl, Maisie
What fn would you use these nn's for?
Ella - Elena, Eliana, Electra
Bella - Amabel, Abelone
Lily - Liana, Liliana
Emmy - Emerald
Allie - Alcyone, Alyssa, Allegra, Althea
Cassie - Cascadia, Cassia, Cassiopea, Dorcas
Anna/ Annie - Anastasia, Andromeda, Anemone, Anise, Anthea, Ariana, Susannah, Liana, Rhiannon, Eliana, Sylvana, Valeriana, Svetlana
Josie - Josephine
Lexi/ Lexie - Alexandra
