Strange question: How can I make the word blackbird [kos] apply as a feminine nickname for a woman?
I think [koska] sounds good, but apparently it really isnt a word...
Feel free to be creative!
Thanks!

Moja gołąbeczka
I think you can change the bird ;)
Gołąbeczka comes from pigeon but is feminine and it means my love

kruczku ty moj maly
'Kruk' / 'Raven', even though it's masculine in Polish, it could be used about a female who has black hair (I would use it anyway, perhaps even did use it on a few occasions)
Kos/Koska does sound rather weird;
