Re: Elegant
in reply to a message by guest
I think Isadora is lovely. It's classy but I definitely wouldn't call it pretentious. You could use Issie, Sadie, Dora, or Dorie as a nn. I've seen Isadora used by non-Hispanics quite a few times.
You could also use:
Charlotte- Charlie, Lottie
Caroline- Carrie, Cara
Amelia- Amy, Mellie, Mia
Margaret- Meg, Maggie, Daisy
Josephine- Josie, Posie, Sephie
Virginia- Ginny
Theresa- Tess, Tessie, Tessa
Genevieve- Genny, Vivi
Madeleine- Maddy / Maddie
Victoria- Vicky, Tori
Annabel- Annie, Belle, Bella, Nana / Nanna
Christine / Christina- Chrissy, Christa
Gwendolyn / Gwendolen- Gwen, Wendy
Evangeline- Evie, Angel
Cordelia- Cory, Delia
Lucinda- Lucy / Lucie, Cindy
Anastasia- Stacie, Stasia, Annie
Susannah- Susie, Suzie, Suzy, Annie, Nana / Nanna
Dorothy / Dorothea- Dora, Dorie, Dottie, Dot
Catherine / Katherine- Kitty, Kara / Cara
Jacqueline- Jacqui / Jackie
Alexandra- Alex / Alix, Alexa, Sandra, Sandy, Lexy / Lexie, Allie, Sasha
Do you like any?
