Nickname for Eurydice?
You can stretch a little if you want.
Pronounced 'yoo-RID-ih-see'.

Hmm. Well, this is rather stretching it, but... I was going to suggest Eurie / Eury, but then was reminded of "urine," which is not good. So how about Euria? I'm not sure how the Welsh name is pronounced, but for this nn you could pronounce it "YEUR-ee" or "YOO-ree" etc. I think it would be a lovely nickname for Eurydice.I love Eurydice, by the way. :-)-Camilleedited to add:
Eura is also pretty, if it's not too similar to "urine," again.

I like Dicey.I struggled with this a lot because I LOVE Eurydice. But whenever I said it to anyone they'd be like "HUH? Urine?" so I took it off my short list. :( I always liked Dicey prn like Dice with a y on the end. I read a book with the main character by this name and I've liked it ever since. I know the prn is a little off from the end of Eurydice, but I still like it best. I guess Eury could be used too.

I don't think I could use that, it sounds too much like 'dyke' (derogatory slang for lesbian).
