(no subject)
I decided I need to rename my FMC in the story I'm plotting. It just wasn't working with the other names. Anyway, I'm down to a couple of candidates:
- Felicie fe-LEE-tsee-ah
- Gabriele gahp-ree-E-lah
- Odilie o-DEE-lee-ah
I want the name to have a Germanic flavor (I got all three of these from a name database) and I'd also like it to have a nickname or diminutive of some kind, even if I have to make it up ;)
Does anyone have an opinion?

Yah - change your spellings. Felitsia, Gabriella, Odelia land closer to your pronunciations.
Also the nickname could be from a physical characteristic: In They Drive by Night, Ann Sheridan's character 'Cassie Hartley' gets dubbed “Red,” not for her politics but for her hair color. My ex-fiancé got designated 'Squeaky' for reasons that made her blush. Blythe Danner once played a character dubbed “Socks,” for her unfortunate choice of hosiery at their first meeting. And so on. These suggest possibilities.
