Nicknames for Claudia?
Basically, I was wondering what nicknames would be a possibility for the name Claudia. I don't like Claude or Claudie (or any variation thereof). The best I've though of has been Dia. I'm really curious as to what other people might use. Don't be afraid to throw names at me that have a weak thread to the name itself. :-)

The ones that immediately come to mind for me are the repetitive sort like Didi, Cece, Lili, or Lala. Lala sounds too nonsensey for me to like for real, but I know a Cece or two in real life (short for Cecilia/Cecelia) and I have a soft spot for Didi (my preferred spelling for 'dee dee'). Others I could see in one stretched sense or another: Lida
Cadie, Cady
Liddy, Liddie
Lila
Lina, Line
Coco
Cili
Cille
Cissy / Sissy (I know a Cecelia "Sissy" and a Sicily "Sis")
Ciel
Ditte
Dodie
Lotte
Lottie
Lula
Lule
Lindy
Lola
Laia
Lally / Lallie
Audie
Aude
Aune
Cole
Coley
Ide
Ili
Ina
Ida

I think DeeDee can be a nickname for ANYTHING. I knew a Janice who was always called DeeDee. She was named Janice after her mother, but not called that so as to avoid confusion. "So what should we call her?" "Oh, well, I guess DeeDee!"

Two of the Claudias I know go by Clo. That's was more of a joke since "Klo" means "toilet" in German, but I actually like it. Another one goes by Audi, courtesy to the car. ;)

Didi, Clia or Clio?I don't think it really needs a nickname, though.

Cece
Dia (I like this)Initial it (by which I mean use Claudia Jane "CJ" or something)I'd be tempted just to call her Claudia. It doesn't need a nickname.

Oh, I love the idea of Chloe, particularly because my best friend's name is Chloe...it would be a really neat way of honoring her. I like Clio as well. Clover's cute too but maybe as more of a pet name? Thanks for your ideas!

Dia, Cleo. I think Claudia is pretty.

I like Cleo, though I'd probably spell it Clio? Maybe?

Yes, It would work.
