Hey there Miss JaeKay,
Sounds like a cool idea for a story,
I reckon Kyla is nice but I don't think K is such a good shortening, what about Ky!.
Jazz is cool, reminds me of saxophones =]
Zapphire/Zaphy is good
I don't like Xandra, reminds me too much of the name Xander
My fave is Kyla though, reminds me of you!. =]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Haha!. You have a good list of names!. I really like
Zapphire -Zaphy :)

How about these:

Georgina - George
Ronalda - Ron
Roberta - Robert/Bobby
Juliana - Julian

Kyla would be Kay
Xandra is pronounced "Zandra" so a nickname would be Zan or something of that nature!.

The problem is you're trying to be too "cool" with the names and not thinking of the story!. Why not Martha and call her Marty!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it should be one of those names that could be for like a boy or a girl!. like sam or tyler or Alex!. personally out of those names, i think andreas cool!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would pick Zapphire-Zaphy, Andrea-Andy or Harriett-Harry!. Sound cool for a tomboy who helps her dad with their circus, especially Zapphire!. Nice idea=)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like Zapphire-Zaphy!.
Sounds cool!.

Then Kyla-K
Jasmine
Andrea
Xandra
Harriett
