Hi all,
ElenaUzunova, sorry for the late response but my Internet connection left much to be desired. I'm from South Ossetia. Do you know it? All of you proved that diminutives of Elena are plenty 
Conchita's diminutives are nice and new for me. By the way, Conchita, I knew that in England my name sounds like Helen, about Nell or Nellie I've learned just now due to your information. |

In Spanish language it would be "Pamelita" and "Elenita" I guess.
Name Conchita is already in diminutive ( smaller form). Just kidding...
Any way to say your names in augmentative. It is possible to do so in Serbian with some nouns, my native language and I believe in most of Slavic languages.
How about in German and Roman languages? |

Of course it's in diminutive. Otherwise, it would be Concha  |

Hey Conchita, has your name ever been misspelled, e.g. instead of "o" "u"? Just wondering? No offence, OK? |

Wow! I'm impressed  ! How come you speak Spanish? Do you find it difficult as compared to, say, English? |
Well, I was forced by my school to study a third language three years ago and as I don't like studying German, I chose Spanish. Actually, I believe that it is a lot easier than English, but this opinion is not to be trusted because I started studying English when I was seven and Spanish- when I was thirteen. Now I am about to celebrate my eighteenth birthday, which is next week, and I don't believe that I am more fluent in Spanish. I love that language and I am trying to do my best to improve my abilities to the highest point that I can. As a matter of fact, I am a little jealous that it's your first language, Conchita! |

And no offence taken -- a name is only a name, after all. Yes, it has occasionally been misspelled by non-Spanish speakers (Conshita, Concita, etc.), but not by changing the 'o' to a 'u'. A little boy once used to call me 'Conthtita' and a teacher I had in primary school pronounced it the French way (which doesn't sound very nice!). 'Cuncha' would be 'shell' in Galician and Portuguese, as far as I know. Why do you ask? Does it have any other meaning ?

Maybe that'll make me appreciate it more. Thanks, Elena! |
