need help

[nazgult]

I moved to U.S. recently and my name is Nazgul. Nobody can spell or pronounce it. I am looking for a feminine shortened name to help my daily communication. What are you suggestions?

Do not like naza.....

[Caribeing]

How about Una [3 initials from your name]
trendy and sophisticated

[Solarjunkie]

Well, it may be an idea to keep the first initial or two, so maybe Nancy would fit the bill.
But your given name only has 2 syllables, surely eventually people will get used to it? I have a very unusual surname so I have some idea of how you feel. There's no way I'm changing it though. Good luck.

try just Naz - hard to misspell or mispronounce. It's a pretty name in Farsi but to Americans it probably just means the undead from Lord of the Rings.

Naz is a rapper here in US. How about Nazzy (like snazzy) not Nazi though.

[Jugglering]

How about Nia or Azzi ?

[saxy_jag]

Nina, Nadine, Nadia, Nayna ?

[weggiewabbit]

Nazgul equals a Ringwraith, according to Tolkien!

How about Natasha, which is a lovely name ... trouble is, it�ll probably be shortened to Nat, which isn�t so nice I think ... King Cole or an insect.

Tasha is an alternative which could work well?

[weggiewabbit]

One drawback I�ve just noticed is that if you call yourself Natasha or Tasha, people might say �Bless you� when you introduce yourself.

You could try Nat perhaps , which is also short for Natalie .
