Can't find it on line anywhere - just out of interest, I've been learning Russian, I called my daughter Claudia I was just wondering whether there is a diminutive?

коровушка

I like Klavushka.

Diya might be easier but people might think you’re calling her dear.

Not sure I like this particular one though, it rhymes with коровушка, so I might try and steer away from it.

Клавушка might be another option.

Russians live their diminutive names.

Klavochka maybe. It's an affectionate term.

I think the Russian version of Claudia is Klavdiya. They don't use Claudia as far as I'm aware. So like the above poster said... Klava or Diya.

Dia?

I think it might actually be Klava though.
