I like Auds and Auden is also cute. I don't have any nn suggestions that others haven't already suggested. Maybe if you get a nn it won't be based off your name.
Yeah I always wished my name had more nn's. I never thought of it when I was younger but Mar or
Mars or
Mari could have been a nn for
Marisa. Also Ris or Risa or
Isa. I only had two nn's as a teen. My closest friend called me Missa and I had one art teacher who would always call me
Maris which she pronounced as muh-RIS. I didn't like
Maris at first but it ended up growing on me.
I personally love nn's and the more the better. I used to give my little sister as many nn's as I possibly could and her name is
Nicole so it was pretty easy. Some she liked and some I lightly teased her with.
For me to love a name it doesn't have to have nn potential but if a name lends itself to nn's then that is a bonus.
Also I think it's good to start a kid out with nn's because they are more likely to enjoy them if they grow up with them. As much as I love nn's it feels odd to give yourself one when you are past a certain age and didn't have one before.
As much as I like
Mari or
Maris it just doesn't feel natural to ask people to call me that. I always introduce myself as
Marisa. I one time introduced myself in rl as
Avi - which is my online monkier based off my mn - and it just didn't feel natural.
