I recently came across Crescentia and I'm really liking it, but I can't think of any nn's. Centa came to mind, though I'm not sure how much I'm into it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. :)

What about Essie?

Crescentia is really lovely by the way

Can't say it's necessarily my cup of tea (but I might be pronouncing it wrong :b). The only "ok" nn's I can come up with are Tia and Zenzi, which was suggested in the comments if you click on the name. Seems like a stretch but kind of cute. :)

If I had a girl named Crescentia prn cre-SEN-sha I would end up calling her Sen a lot. This would be okay for me because I pronounce Sin and Sen completely differently. But most of the time I would just try for the full name, because I think it's a very good name.

I like Cressie, which is what I'd call a girl named Cressida. Would work for Crescentia, too. Tia, Cecy?

Crescentia is very nice, btw. :)

Cressy / Cressie is my favorite so far. I'm probably going with that or Cessie. :)

P.S. Cressida is great too. :D

What about Centia? It's kind of like Cintia, but as a nn for Crescentia. I kind of like Centa too.

Other ideas:
Chessy
Tia
Cressy

Is it pronounced kre-SEN-sha? Maybe Crissy or Cressy? Maybe also Cessy or Sessy (as in the nickname for Cecilia). It's a little Star Trek-y, but how about Kess?

Kess is cute, and I'm really liking Cressy. Thanks :)
