nn for Angelica?

Does anyone know of a nickname for Angelica besides Ang or Angie? I'm not a big fan of either but figure a name like Angelica will be shortened - and I'd like to be in control of the nickname if I can.

Thanks for any suggestions.

i think Ellie would be an unusual nickname for Angelica--but i agree that its going to be hard to to not have her called ANg or Angie for short---because folsk just tend to shorten names with more than two syllables.

Did you have any ideas on what you might choose for a middle name? Maybe you can combine syllables from the first name w/syllables from the middle name to come up with a nn. Some ideas I had (just examples, of course):


Angelica Denise: Andee


Angelica Marie: Gemma ("Ge-" from fn and "-ma-" from mn)


Or maybe Ellie or Ella? (Take off the "Ang-" from the beginning of the name and the "-ica" from the end, then add either "-ie" or "-a".)


Another one that I thought was kind of cute, even though it doesn't really follow as a nn for Angelica unless you pronounced it as Ann-jeh-LEE-ka...but maybe Leecy or Lecy (kind of like Lacey, but a little different in pronunciation)? Or Leelee?


Well, best of luck to you!

Great suggestions - thank you! Not sure what the middle name would be, but maybe I will combine them somehow.
