Person named Morgana here - various nicknames I've gathered over the years are Morg (like the place for dead people), Morgie (rhymes with "corgi"), Anna and variations thereof, and Gana (rhymes with Anna - I really hated this one!). Ana (Ah-na) Gana (Gah-na), like the country (I'm half Ghanaian)
The main nickname I've received is Momo (which is also a name in japanese, meaning 'peach'). There are actually more, and I'd put all of them here, but since I live in a portuguese-sepaking country, the pronunciation would be well off.
