nicknames for shreeja?

there's this girl i really, really like but (and it sounds so stupid) i have so much trouble pronouncing her name! we joke about it a lot but we're kind of trying to find nickname alternatives for her since i'm not the only one who has a little trouble pronouncing her name and she doesn't really like her name. people either find the 'shr' or the 'j' difficult to say for some reason and i'd really like to help her find a nickname that i (and others in our class who can't pronounce her name) can use. any suggestions? we're kind of toying around with the idea of sia but that sounds like the singer or maybe ria but she has a close friend named ria so she feels awkward about that..could ree work?

Hmmm shree, ree (defo could work), reeja?
I know someone named Shreya (everyone can pronounce it as far as I know) and it could be similar to shreeja I guess.
How about Reeree/ Riri ? Cuter nickname...
