nickname options for Greta?

Baby Girl is most likely going to be Greta. I'm 99% sure.

Are there any nn possibilities? I can't think of any. I know Greta can be a nn for Margaret, but I don't want to name her Margaret.

I'm cool with no nicknames, just wanted to think this through. I see "G" being a possibility. Our lastname starts with G as well so Gigi might get used too.

I don't think Greta has any natural nicknames. Also, IMO (I am sure others will disagree) but Greta is all NN to me.

I don't even really like Gigi as a NN for Greta. Of course you could use it, but it seems a little forced sinc

I can't think of one, or find one on the interwebs. But I like it just as it is! I think it's a solid name choice.

I don't think it really needs a nn. I would wait until after your LO is born and see what comes naturally to you guys.

Maybe Etta but that seems like too much of a stretch.

Until I married, my initials were G.G., I detested being called Gigi.

Greta is a nn.

GiGi or Etta?

IL's had a dog named Gretchen ... so ... : )

I don't love Gigi as a nn either, just wanted to be mentally prepared that it could happen.

I love Greta on it's own!

I love Greta on it's own. It was a top contender for us.

I don't think Greta needs a nn. I really like the name and would use it just as is.

I love Greta on its own, too. I do like Margaret, but Greta can definitely be a stand-alone name.

Honestly? I think this is one where the nickname will have to arise organically. It's short enough not to need a nickname.&

Greta needs no nn.

Greta as a name doesn't lend itself to nicknames very well. Ree or Rett, but those both sound kind of odd...

Love it on it's own!

Greta is one of our top choices and I really don't think it needs a nn. It's a great name by itself! Our other girls don't have names you can really give a nn for and I'm totally ok with that.

My daughter is Greta. I was planning on calling her Etta as a nn. Funny thing, almost 18mo later....I have never called her Etta. She is Greta, unless I am typing her name in a text message or something and I just put "G"....but I don't call her "G" when
