Help[Opinions] long name for nickname Glory?
Can anyone think of a way to get the nickname Glory without using it as a first name?? Any longer names that could even remotely get to it?

Heriklea / Hericlea / Heraclea / Heraklea
I used to pronounce it as "hehr-ih-KLAY-uh" / "hehr-uh-KLAY-uh," but Greek friends say it should be "hehr-IK-lee-uh." Their mother's name, she went by Rikki in the U.S. Either way, it's beautiful. It means, "Hera's glory." :0)

For a boy or a girl?
For girls there's this list of names that (partially) mean "glory":

Incredibly shocked you haven't been offered Glorfindel yet. Maybe I'm the only one that nerdy.
Sadly, Gloria, Gloriana, and Glorinda are about all there is.

I actually like Glorfindel :) and "golden tresses" is so pretty. I agree it's quite nerdy though.

Elizabeth
Elizabeth Tudor was, not unreasonably, known as Gloriana though I don't imagine it was ever abbreviated. I find Gloria hubristic in spite of Frances the badger's baby sister, so I'd welcome almost any name that wasn't it or close to it. Elizabeth is decently distant.
Anyway, anything can be a nn for anything else if it seems to fit. I was at school with a very pleasant Mary who was known as Porridge. Nobody remembers why.

Gloria hubristic? WTF?
A hubristic name would be something more like Clytemnestra or Cassiopeia.

Because it literally means "glory." Lol...?

Glorificus. But then you would have the unfortunate side effect of scabby minions and brain sucking.

Sorry, the reference is lost on me. (And I don't think Glorificus would *quite* do.)

Glorinda?
Also, Cleo means 'glory', so that could work.

Hum. Unfortunately Cleo is my favourite nickname for Clementina! But thank you, I didn't know that.

I can honestly only think of Gloria.
