Nick name for Eleftheria

[gingerfume]

This is a greek name I love but I am not keen on the nick names Ria, Ella, or Ellie. Can you think of any cute nick names?

That's what I thought but was doubting myself because it seemed so tenuous a link - although I know people who have gone with names for their DC which reflect their DCs 1/8th heritage because they 'go with' their surname (aka we like being unique). The boys have no connection to the country and don't speak the language, but I guess the remaining 7/8th UK heritage wasn't interesting enough.

E-lef-ther-I-a, if she's pronouncing it the Greek way. I still love it!

@Heckythump1 pronounced as @VeryQuaintIrene says :) basically phonetic with emphasis on the ‘i’.

E-lef-theh-RI-a

it’s a really beautiful name in Greek and nickname would be Effie. You wouldn’t spell it Eleutheria in English because the ‘u’ would just cause issues. A ‘u’ in Greek is like a cross between a ‘v’ and an ‘f’ (or in my accent it is… might differ regionally).

BUT it’s wayyyy ott for a baby that’s only 1/16 Greek!! That’s really clutching at straws… I considered it way ‘too Greek’ for my 1/4 Greek daughter

Terri

What a beautiful name.
I would go with Lefty, Effie, or Terri for nn.
I'd be thrilled to meet a child with such a wonderful name.
