Help[Opinions] nickname for "Lavender"
Hey, I tried this on a different message board and was recommended to try it here instead. So, does anyone here know a good nickname for the name "Lavender"? It's a beautiful name but also a little ungainly. I've gotten suggestions to use "Lave" or "Lav", which are fine, but I was wondering if there are any others I might use. Thanks so much!

I like Lavender.
Lavender nn? Depends how far you want to stretch it.
What about: Val (Lav backwards), Ven, Vennie/Venny, Vena or Venka? Deri? Too close to Terri?
nn can derive themselves really - it's like a girl called Jayne that I know who gets Jaynis. You never know what will catch on.

Thanks so much, everyone! It IS a hard name to come up with nicknames for, and I really appreciate your thoughts. I'll definitely find something I like somewhere in all your suggestions. Thanks especially to Nikida and Integrity who reminded me that the nickname doesn't have to be derived from the actual name. Thanks a ton!

'Lav' isn't really fine if she ever comes to Britain. A 'lav' is a toilet here.
I think Lavender is nice though. I prefer it without a nickname, since I can't think of any attractive ones. Perhaps 'Landy' could work.

George sighed. "Look at him," he said in an undertone, "he's got one of the great makeout lines of all time available to him - 'hey, I'm back from the dead' -and he doesn't use it."

The first thought that came to mind was Lala. I'm not sure why because it's nothing that I would normally say for a nickname. But my neice Emma is going to be 2 at the end of the month and she has a newborn sister who is 3 weeks old that she calls Lala. Her name is Natalie but she gets excited and it just slips and comes out Lala. Now that I have totally gotten off subject here....I would say just use that or Ava sounded good from another suggestion...just anything. Nicknames could even be something that has nothing to do with a name.

Maybe Ven or Vennie?
