Affectionate endings to Polish girls' names....

Is 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.

Aga... Agusia...

and what about Diana? :) Dianusia?

Dianusia, Dianka, Dianeczka, Dianiunia .... :>

How about weronika? Am I right in thinking werusia, weriunia, wereczka?

Basunia doesn't sound right, probably Basiunia. Also Basieńka and Agnisia (Agnieszka). Diana is rarely encountered in Poland so far.

I've heard Weronka

Gosia (= Małgorzata) is my favourite.
Also I like Asia = Joanna = Joasia

weronisia? werka? weri? lol

i get called Justysia (duh lol), Justyś, Justi, Jusi, Justynka, Justyneczka, you can obviously tell people like me ha ha...

Justysia is nice too ;)

Is there anything else you can use for someone called Małgorzata?

Małgosia

Gosia, Gosieńka

Dzięki, would Gosiunia work? Are all of these acceptable to use between friends?

sure

Cool thread.

:)

I used to call my girlfriend (Kasia) Kash . . . don't know if that works for anyone else.

...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 :)

Gośka

So is Malwinko an affectionate way of calling someone named Mawina???

Malwina :)
Yes, it is:)
Also: Malwinka, Malwinuś, Malwinusia...

Don'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.

Aleksandra - Ola - Oleńka - Olusia...
Magdalena - Magda - Madzia...

also: Madzius, Magdunia, Magdalenka...
:)

What are some for Alicja besides Ala?

Alicja, Ala, Aluś, Alutka (rarely)

Werka, Wera, Weronia, Werunia
i've also heard Nisia Niśka or just Nika for names ending in '-nika' (mine's one of them)

Can Malgosia be changed affectionately to Malgosie?

Thank you.

Gosiu is better I'd say.

Ok, thank you.
