[Opinions] Nicknames for Rapunzel
What nickname would you use for Rapunzel (girl's names)?

Replies

In a (very adult) novel version of Rapunzel I read as a teenager the girl used "Zel" as the nickname. Zel or Zella could work... if I can divorce from the absolute disorganized smut that was that book lmao
Zellie, Rappy, Punny
Punzie?Maybe Campanula (the genus for the rapunzel plant) or Bellflower (another name for rapunzels).
Rapunzel, hmm. Maybe Pal, Paz, Raz?
Um... Peppy? Pippi? Zelle?

I can see people calling her Rap, especially if she turns out to be a bit more of a 'tomboy.' I agree that Zel would probably be the best option here, but every time I read it, I just think "cash app." So maybe Zelly instead.
'punzel maybe? There's really no great option...I agree with nesstya that Goldie or some other attribute based nn would be better
First off, I'd hope beyond all hope that this is not for a real child. I cannot fathom a parent naming a real child Rapunzel.Anyway, I'd go with Zel.
Punzy/Punzi (Puhn-Zee), Zelle, Zelly, Zel.If she would have a blonde hair then Goldie.
Related to flower - Florry, Flossie.
I'll be back and edit if I'll think of more, because it intrigued me.Hmm maybe Rapsy, but imo Rap, Raps, Rapi, Rapsy wouldn't be the best. They make me think of music genre rap.
