Help[Opinions] Re: Nicknames for Amelia and Eleanor
in reply to a message by LMS
If I had an Amelia, I'd call her Mealy-bird, which I doubt helps anyone, but! Amelia could be:
Melie (I'm not sure how you'd want to spell it, but prn. MEE-lee--I suspect the associations with the word "mealy" might be a bit offputting, but it's the spelling I prefer, because it's clear)
Allie
Ailie (again, not sure how you'd want to spell it, but AY-lee)
Mel
Melly
Mella
Amma (AM-ah, like the word "am")
May (a bit of a stretch, but doable)
Mia (which has never appealed to me)
As far as Eleanor goes, my favourite nickname for it has always been Lennie. I like Nell best of what you've listed--definitely my second favourite.
