Hey! I’m emailing on behalf of a friend, who recently heard the name Savvy (that’s s-a-v-v-y, not s-a-w-y) and loved it. However, she would prefer to use it as a nickname for something rather than a proper name. The only name we can think of is Savannah. Are there any other names out there that Savvy would be a good nickname for?<\/p>\n

THANKS!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I looked in the index of The Baby Name Wizard<\/a> to find all names starting with “Sav,” and found this list:<\/p>\n

Savanna
Savannah
Savina
Savion
Savvas<\/p>\n

Well, hm. If it’s the SOUND she likes, she could use a name that gives a similar nickname such as Sabby or Saffy or Saphy.<\/p>\n

Sabina
Sabrina
Saffron
Saphira
Sapphira
Sapphire<\/p>\n

And of course she could make up a name. Saveela. Savayla. Savella. Savona. Saveena. Savika. Savrina. Savira. Savinna. Savayna. Saverra. Well, I am not very good at making up names, but maybe she is.<\/p>\n

I do think, though, that the name you thought of is the best way to get the nickname: Savannah\/Savanna is the clearest route to Savvy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
