I could go on and on. If there's a nn that you like, but not the formal name, let us know. We can come up with many more options. I hope one or two of these tickle your fancy. :-)
ETA: Could I ask what your children's formal names are? I assume Zay is from
Xavier. But
Mimi could be from any number of things:
Emilia,
Marie,
Artemisia,
Naomi, etc. Are any of them close? Just curious.
