Help[Opinions] Re: What nicknames would you give...?
in reply to a message by MusicalTwinSiStar2
Adela (girl, nn Dela [pronounced: DAY-lah]): Addie or Delli, but really Adela is too beautiful to nn
Alakina (girl, nn Ally): Kina
Cinnamon (girl, nn Cinna [pronounced: SIN-nah]) Cinny?
Ingvar (boy, nn Yves [pronounced: EE-v]): Ingvar is a Swedish name which usually does not get any nn. Maybe Inge (ING-eh).
Joaquin (boy, nn Joey): Depends on how it is pronounced. If it is pronounced as "Hwa-kin", maybe Hwa or Kin would be more natural for me than Joey. But I prefer Joakim, nn Kim.
Liam (boy, nn Lee): Lee is the only possible nn here, but I would not shorten Liam at all.
Lucius (boy, nn Luke): I would say Luci! Probably too "girly" for many, but I find this a very sexist thinking, as boyish nn are ok for girls. Or maybe Luce.
Terezinha (girl, nn Terry): I would probably use Terry too, but I prefer Teresa, nn Tessa.
Wynola (girl, nn Nola [pronounced: NO-lah]): Nola is a pretty nn. I would actually prefer Nola as the formal name.
