Nicknames

[a-groovy-gypsy.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm new here. Yup, not pregnant yet but are in the process of practicing. I have always had a fascination with names. Bought my first baby name book in 8th grade...Mom had fun explaining that book to the teachers! Hahaha

Anyway...we are 100% sure we are going to name a future son Calvin Emory and going to call him "Vinnie" as a nickname. As for a girl, we were planning on Destiny Lorraine, but I don't much care for the name Destiny anymore (I think every 3rd newborn baby girl in this area is named "Destiny" something-or-other). Anyway, I am liking the name Elisabeth Hope now.

Problem is finding a nickname. I've pretty much ruled out every nickname there is out there.
Lisa is too common.
Liz is just...well, reminds me of lez. (sorry, it does)
Lizzie...Borden or McGuire. Eeew @ both
Betty...too old lady.
Betsy...again, too old lady.
Beth...too common.
Ella (or Ellie)...phant.

Can anyone think of anything else that might be used as a nickname?

FYI...I do have 3 children. Cassandra Lynn, Christopher James and Samantha Kathryn. Hmmm, maybe I'll start looking into the "S" names.....

I like Elle personally. Lissa is very pretty too, except I have some horrible personal association with it so it's ruined for me, but not for you!
