Girl names that could be short for Colin

anyone have any ideas about girl names that sounds similar to Colin or have the same meaning; my grandad died as I went in for my scan with my baby, and if we had a boy we would of used Colin as the middle name, I don’t like colleen, any ideas please

Corin Colina

Colette? Sorry about your grandad.

Cailen is the Gaelic version which could be used for a girl… Collins Colina Corinne Lyn Colyn Lolly

Is there any reason why you can’t use Colin as a girls middle name even if you wanted the change it to Collyn so it looks a little more feminine there are girls names Collins

My grandad was Clive and we named our little girl Clara

Colleen would be perfect and is such a lovely name 🥰

Collyn could be an option for sure. Colina Colissa Colaine Colby/Colbie Collette Connie Coco Coral Coryn

Colleen

Clio Coco Connie Coraline Colanthe Colandra Coralyn Colaine Colette Colwyn Colina Nicola Nicole Lynn Coral Cole Lina 💕

Apparently in old French, Colin is short for Nicholas, so maybe Nicole or Nicolette?

Sorry to hear about your grandad! I used my grandads middle name as my sons middle name, would have been difficult if he’d been a girl. As someone mentioned above Lyn or even lin could be a nice middle name or could you use any of his other names like middle/last name? Coralin could also be a good option for birth certificate but she could go by Cora x
