Re: Essie
in reply to a message by LMS
I've known Essie used as a nn for Esther, and Hessie for Hester. Estelle might also work.I'd rather have a husband named Leo than Aslan.Nella is very trite and middle-aged where I live. It's a nn for Petronella or Pieternella (which I've only seen once), both widely used as fem forms of Peter, Petrus, Pieter. I quite like it, apart from its wrinkly image.
