My husband and I are due with baby girl #3 in [name_f]September[/name_f] and can’t seem to come up with any names for our sweet babe. We have two daughters, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] & [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], who primarily go by [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] & [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]. I would love to stick with this same ‘theme’ or feeling - A longer traditional name with a cute but a little different nick name.
I do love the name [name_u]Kit[/name_u] but definitely think that it needs to be a nn, however, I am not absolutely in love with the name [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] so I keep trying to come up with possibilities for this. I also am a fan of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f] but I would definitely have some convincing to do with my husband
I love [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lottie[/name_f].
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sukie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] both have a t in the name:
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Kerry[/name_u]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn Marg
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Christine[/name_f], [name_f]Christabel[/name_f], or [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]?
Other longer traditional English names with short nicknames:
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]Peggy[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] or [name_m]Pip[/name_m] – maybe a little too British [name_u]Royal[/name_u] family & in-laws with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], though?
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sukie[/name_f], [name_f]Sanna[/name_f], or [name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] nn [name_u]Fran[/name_u] or [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
I love your daughter’s names! These are my favorites for the sister set, so please forgive repeats.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and …
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] nn [name_u]Abby[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Greta[/name_f] or [name_f]Gretchen[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] nn [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] or [name_f]Sally[/name_f]

[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]

I think you could also use [name_u]Kit[/name_u] for [name_f]Christine[/name_f], [name_f]Christina[/name_f], or [name_f]Christabel[/name_f].
I agree with [name_f]Erin[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f], I think [name_u]Kit[/name_u] could totally be used for [name_f]Christina[/name_f], which is a name which could work well with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], as it’s another sophisticated, regal, but not stuffy, name.
I also wonder if [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] could work well as a nickname alongside [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], just a thought.
My own suggestions are: [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] ([name_f]Carrie[/name_f]), [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosie[/name_f]), [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] ([name_u]Izzy[/name_u]), [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] ([name_f]Lulu[/name_f]), [name_f]Diana[/name_f] ([name_f]Di[/name_f]) and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] make a gorgeous sibset! For your third daughter I would go with something equally classic with another unexpected, vintage-sounding nickname. What about:
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], or [name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] or Lissy
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] nn Lissy
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f] or [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Lea[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f] or [name_f]Annie[/name_f] (a bit of a stretch, but from the “an” in [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] nn Flee, [name_f]Flora[/name_f] or [name_u]Ren[/name_u]
[name_u]Marian[/name_u] nn [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f], [name_f]Milly[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] nn [name_f]Milly[/name_f] (or [name_f]Emmy[/name_f], but [name_f]Emily[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] is more expected)
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f] or [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] nn [name_u]Georgie[/name_u], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Gia[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f] for [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] or [name_f]Ana[/name_f] for [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Cori[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_f]Lia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Trix[/name_f] or [name_f]Trixie[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] or [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] nn [name_u]Mattie[/name_u], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] or [name_f]Tilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Amy[/name_f], [name_u]Mel[/name_u], [name_f]Milly[/name_f] or [name_f]Lia[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (from the “li” part of [name_f]Philippa[/name_f])
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f] or [name_f]Annie[/name_f] (from the “an”)
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_u]Allie[/name_u] or [name_f]Lili[/name_f] (lee-lee… too close to [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Izzy[/name_u], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] or [name_f]Dora[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lena[/name_f] or [name_f]Leni[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f] or [name_u]Abbie[/name_u]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u] would work for [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], if you don’t like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. Or maybe even something like [name_f]Christabel/name_f? If [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] can get [name_u]Kit[/name_u], [name_f]Christabel/name_f isn’t much of a stretch.
Maybe [name_u]Kit[/name_u] could be a nickname for [name_f]Katharina[/name_f]/[name_f]Catharina[/name_f]/[name_f]Caterina[/name_f], [name_f]Katrina[/name_f], or [name_f]Christina[/name_f]/[name_f]Christiana[/name_f]/[name_f]Kristina[/name_f].
