xenole 1 | - 19 Nov 2008 / #1Is there a way that these work?I know a few Polish people and none of them seem to sure how you go about it.i.e Basia can be Baska (not popular calling anyone that for some reason) or Basunia (seen the-unia bit used in other languages)Did read something about putting -ka on the end on a name but it doesn't work with all names and what about names like Agnieszka? I know there's Aga or Aggy for that one but whether they're just abbreviations I'm not sure.
Cardno85 31 | 976 21 Nov 2008 / #5How about weronika? Am I right in thinking werusia, weriunia, wereczka?
Polonius3 1,000 | 12,446 21 Nov 2008 / #6Basunia doesn't sound right, probably Basiunia. Also Basieńka and Agnisia (Agnieszka). Diana is rarely encountered in Poland so far.

Cleo14 1 | 29 21 Jan 2009 / #18...Agunia... Aginiek... Agulek... My mum calls me Guga from time to time :) i think i'd kill anybody else if they called me that, but it's ok when she says it :)
Wyspianska 26 Jan 2009 / #22MalwinusiaDon't go there, please. Overdone! I think the new thing is that some people (especially young) make names shorter, for example my name is Ewelina but I get called Ewi. Malwina would be Malwi. I would guess this trend comes from English by the way.
