[Opinions] Re: Eleanor, Elizabeth and Martha
Abigail nn Abby and Mary nn Molly are good, but common for those name. Margaret nn Molly interests me a little.
Jenny seems like too modern a nickname.
Nell is something that I really, really like for Eleanor. Maybe Ellen, but definitely not Helen.
It's not your fault, but I don't like Lilly and Bella at all.
Tibby is cute. I like it on Tabitha, but I'm having trouble seeing it on Isabel.
Libby . . . meh. I've never quite liked it.
Betta is a bit too much like "better."
Addie could be nice for Adeline. Not for Adriana, though. My sister's name is Adrianna and we always call her Adri.
Dell is very sweet. I like it best with Delphina (and maybe a little more with Delphine).
Etta is nice. I like it with Henrietta and Benedetta.
