I'm really not a fan of one syllable names like Femme and
Bea, which seem more appropriate as nicknames for longer names.
Shan is the name I go by (nn for
Shannon), so I'm a bit partial to this one, but am glad that I have the longer
Shannon to fall back on for more formal situations. I like
Bea as a nn for
Beatrix.
The others I like are
Cosette and
Ina. It is unfortunate that
Elise has become so common. I live about a girl named
Anneliese, and have really grown to like this similar sounding name.
