-I have to be a member for 6 days before messaging someone, so this is probably some sort of an open letter-
If I wanted to find a nickname for a girl named Tangerie, I think I would cut the "Tan". Gerie, Ger, including a cute-funny "g" pronounciation if her boyfriend is meant to use it would be quite realistic, in my opinion.
I have an acquisant named
Nicolina, and because
Niki is a quite common name here, her friends call her
Lina. Not to mention Yiotis, derieved from
Panayiotis, Telis from
Aristoteles,
Tina from
Christina, Nitsa from Helenitsa (the "i" is the same i as information) etc
Respectfully,
The Nerd
