[nelliedellie]

Anina "Nina" - NMS prefer just Nina
Antonia "Toni" - Once again NMS
Bethany - I think it's sweet but a little dated, love the nn Beth
Coralie - Love it.
Eleanor "Elle" Love Eleanor (it's the name I use for myself online I love it so much) It's classic strong and pretty.
Elizabeth "Libby" - Like Eleanor it's strong, classic and pretty and the nn Libby gives a lively morden vibe. However it is quite popularif that sort of thing bothers you.
Gemma- I like it, put it kind of feels like it's missing something.
Genevieve "Evie" - Another love of mine. The nn Evie is so cute yet Genevieve is grown up without being to serious.
Giada "GiGi"- Giada is NMS and I loathe Gigi, it sound childish and ditzy, sorrry
Johanna "JoJo"- like it kind of cool and spunky.
Joy -NMS
Katherine "Kat" - Katherine another great classic name and the nn Kat is cute for when she's younger but not something I can picture of a grown woman.
Luana "LuLu" - NMS, I prefer Lucia (and other Lucy variants) to get the nn Lulu
Miriam "MiMi" - While not one of my favourite names it's classic and strong and the nn MiMi is cute.
Noella "Elle" NMS at all.
Phoebe - I like it. It can be girly and fun yet also grown up and serious.
Rita - Always makes me think of Rita Skeeter from Harry Potter.
Roxanna "Roxy" - Roxanne sounds kind of dated and Roxy reminds me to much of the brand.
Vienna "ViVi" - I'm not a big fan of place names but Vienna does have a nice sound I wouldn't use it unless there is personal significance to th place other wise I would suggest Vivienne nn ViVi
Virginia "Ginger" - the 'virgin' part kind of puts me off.
Winter- NMS at all, I wouldn't use it outside of the middle spot.

My favourites from the list are Eleanor, Elizabeth and Carolie.

[emelis]

Anina "Nina" - this is cool. I lluurve the NN Nina.
Antonia "Toni" - meh, not a fan. Could combine with above for Antonina NN Nina?
Bethany - I loved this name when I was little. It's OK
Coralie - beautiful
Eleanor "Elle" - lovely, so regal. Also like the NNs Nell and Nora
Elizabeth "Libby" - great
Gemma - meh
Genevieve "Evie" - Don't 'get' Genevieve sorry, I just don't think it's pretty
Giada "GiGi" - Not sure how to say this one, but in theory, I like it
Johanna "JoJo" - nah. it's dated and Jo is just...ek
Joy - OK. Nice as a middle, something like Katherine Joy or Elisabeth Joy would be nice
Katherine "Kat" - OK
Luana "LuLu" - nice. I know a Lowana (means girl in aboriginal australian I think) and a Lewanna. I like your spelling. Cute. Luella might be another option
Miriam "MiMi" OK. not my fave
Noella "Elle" - very cool. Love it.
Phoebe - very nice. cool.
Rita - nope
Roxanna "Roxy" - terrible. Sorry.
Vienna "ViVi" - nice as far as place names go. Probably not great in practice. Maybe a middle?
Virginia "Ginger" - would prefer just Ginger
Winter - I'm such a fan of this name, in the middle. I worry that it will be trendy though if that makes sense. Phoebe Winter is beyond cool.

Coralie, Eleanor, Phoebe and Winter are probably my favourites. Noella I haven't come across before and really like also

[rachelxoxo]

Anina "Nina" - no
Antonia "Toni" - no
Bethany - I don't really like Beth as a nn either
Coralie - love Cora and the other Cora-like names

Gemma - um, ok.
Genevieve "Evie" - Love!
Giada "GiGi" - Like GiGi but that is all.
Johanna "JoJo" - cute
Joy - cute and simple. Maybe middle name though
Katherine "Kat" - I love Katherine but not Kat. How about Kate or Katie !!!
Luana "LuLu" - nah
Miriam "MiMi" - nope
Noella "Elle" -I like Noelle much better! nn Elle fits better too!
Phoebe - Not a huge fan, but not horrible.
Rita - nope
Roxanna "Roxy" - Like

Winter - Ok, more as a mn though

Fun list! Thoughts:

Anina "Nina"- Both names are sweet and pretty, but I prefer either as is, not Nina as nn for Anina.
Antonia "Toni"- The full name is one of the prettiest names on the planet IMO and I would never shorten such beauty.
Bethany- Pretty name on a list of much prettier ones.
Coralie- Lovely.
Eleanor "Elle"- You chose names that are just so pretty in long form, it's hard to shorten. But, Elle is a good one! I actually like some of the less expected names on your list.
Elizabeth "Libby"- Too many fresh beauties here to settle. Sorry.
Gemma- A personal fave!
Genevieve "Evie"- The long form is so fabulous and the onslaught of E- names and E- nn lessens Evie IMO.
Giada "GiGi" - Oh, now this I can see!
Johanna "JoJo"- One of my favorite names ever. Surprise, surprise- I prefer the long form!
Joy- I think this would be a fantastic mn for so many of your choices...
Katherine "Kat"- See Elizabeth...sorry. But I could go for Katerina, Katrin, or Katriel with Kat for nn!!!
Luana "LuLu"- Giada whips it.
Miriam "MiMi" - See Bethany.
Noella "Elle" - Ooh. Big Noella fan! But uhm same thoughts on E- nn.
Phoebe- See Bethany.
Rita- Unexpected but with names like Antonia and Giada in contention, I'd prefer Marguerite!
Roxanna "Roxy"- Sassy, prissy, but not in the same league.
Vienna "ViVi" - See Roxanna.
Virginia "Ginger"- I always get compliments on my name (Ginger). Maybe keep it on the list but others have more intrigue.
Winter - I love the name. It's always stayed high on my list along with names like Antonia and Johanna, but seeing it here, I realize it can't hold a candle...

I adore Antonia, Giada, Gemma, Noella, and Johanna and would keep Anina, Genevieve, Virginia, and Coralie on for now. I'd add Katriel. I'd suggest Sabina, Saskia, Laurentine, and Inga.

PS- If you keep Noella on, consider the adorable Noe nn instead!

Best names from your list, IMO:

Antonia - Divine.
Bethany
Eleanor (Objectively I know it's really great. Subjectively, ick I find it frumpy, overly earnest)
Elizabeth (Though I think Bette "betty" is so far superior to Libby, which sounds a bit.. French poodle.)
Genevieve
Joy
Katherine... Only tolerating the K on account of Ms Hepburn.
Miriam
Phoebe
Rita
Roxana (Love love love. But please use the gorgeous original spelling- one N. This name is just delicious.)
Virginia (Love Ginger, usually dislike Virginia. Too... virginal.)
Winter - GP, but a good one. Teetering on the edge of trendy.

Favorites:
Coralie - Slowly but surely warming up to this name. It's very pretty and feminine.
Elizabeth - Classic of course, but prefer it as a middle name.
Joy - Not my favorite word name, but it's nice in the middle spot.
Genevieve - Love this beautiful name. Classic but still relevant.
Phoebe - Same feelings towards this name as with Coralie, although it has a tad more spunk!
Winter - I have a bit of a thing for nature names. Love Winter as a refreshing middle name!

[stripedsocks]

Anina "Nina" - I love Nina but not Anina. I do like Yonina though.
Antonia "Toni" - Love both of these.
Bethany - I really REALLY dislike Bethany.
Coralie - Love
Eleanor "Elle" - Love Elle, but not Eleanor.
Elizabeth "Libby" - Love both of these.
Gemma - Like.
Genevieve "Evie" - Like Genevieve, not Evie.
Giada "GiGi" - NMS.
Johanna "JoJo" - Johanna's nice. JoJo reminds me of Jojo the Dog-Faced Boy. Would prefer Jo or Josie.
Joy - Dislike.
Katherine "Kat" - Would prefer either Katharine as in Katharine Hepburn, or Catherine NN Cat.
Luana "LuLu" - I find Lulu cloying and Luana hick-ish.
Miriam "MiMi" - Really like.
Noella "Elle" - I think Noelle would be prettier than Noella. I do like Elle though, and would prefer Noella to Eleanor.
Phoebe - Love.
Rita - Like, but prefer as a nickname to Rosarita or Sarita or something like that.
Roxanna "Roxy" - Love.
Vienna "ViVi" - Vivi is cute, but Vienna does nothing for me. I like Viviana/Vivienne/Viveca though.
Virginia "Ginger" - Nice.
Winter - Really like.

Luana is my aunt's middle name, and she has always made it well known that she hates it. Coralie is beautiful, and I like Gemma as well. I like the idea of using Antonia to get to nn Toni. That's about all that stands out to me on this list.
