[Opinions] Can you help me come up with a nickname for...
Flaminia? It's for a fictional character of mine. I don't like Minnie at all, plus it doesn't suit her. I thought of Nia but don't care for it; I'm not fond of NNs that come off the end of the name and I love F-names. What I keep going back to is Flami, but I have no idea how to pronounce it without sounding like it's a different name. FLAME-ee or FLAM-ee wouldn't be right, because the first A in the name is pronounced differently. (Although, she is a redhead, so FLAME-ee would be appropriate. Hehe.) Sorry I'm so fussy.

I don't think the pronunciation of the A is a problem. After all, Coby came from the "cob" in Jacob, and they're not pronounced the same way. And Tony is short for Anthony / Antony, and that O sound is different in the full name as well.

Ooh, I like Minia a lot more than Minnie. :)I do love Flammie, but I'm a gamer nerd so Flammie is a fluffy white dragon to me: http://mana.wikia.com/wiki/File:Flammie.jpg
Of course, that wouldn't stop me from using it in fiction. It's just for fun, anyway. ;)

Fia, Mia and Mina come to mind. Flin or Fin could work too.

I think Minnie is really cute but if you don't like it...Flia? Fia? Mina? Amina? Flame (in a story I'd go for it)?
