HelpNicknames for Wistrilde
So I've recently fallen in love with the name Wistrilde (pronounced wist-RILL-duh) but I feel like it's too out there to be a whole name on its own, it needs a nickname.
I can't use it as a middle name either, for the middle name I'm using Jassi, after my mother.
What do you think?

Wow, amazing name.
I think typical nicknames like Willa and Tilda sort of cheapen the whole thing, but they would work.
I'd rather preserve the uniqueness and use a nickname like Trilda or Tril. Or Trida (like Treeda, rhyme Frida)
I think Willo(w) is a far stretch, though, not only because of the mixed-in O, but because Willow is a fashionable, frequent name.
It's sort of like naming a child Madelberta and calling her Mia.
If you want to call a child Willo(w), why not use Willo(w)? Willo Jassi is cool. Wistrilde Jassi seems verging on fussy, by comparison (although I would not object to it).
Still - if a person goes by Willo people will just assume her name is Willo, so ... does it matter if it's a stretch? Not often, anyway.
Difficult choices!

I really like Willa, do you think Willo would be too much of a stretch?

It’s a bit of a stretch I think, as there’s no ‘o’ sound in Wistrilde. But it could work, I guess.
