Classic names-- spunky/funky/Unique nick names!

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], everyone!

I thought I would start a post about my favorite type of names for 2 reasons! 1- to share (hey I can’t be the only one on this bandwagon) and 2- to get ideas (we have a 3rd baby on the way due in [name_u]December[/name_u] though we have chosen to wait to find out the gender)

I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] beautiful classic names with Spunky nick names. Mostly because I like options and wanted to find names where it could fit our daughters personality regardless of how girly/sporty/sassy etc etc she may turn out to be!

So, for starters I’ll mention my two daughters names.

Name: [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] NN: [name_u]Jet[/name_u] (we also call her Juju, juicy juice, and jetski lol)- She is a little fire cracker and a witty one liner so [name_u]Jet[/name_u] fits her like a glove :slight_smile:
Name: [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] NN: [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] (she is sweet and happy and bubbly and poppy is definitely a great fit for her also:)

Others that I love:

[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] NN: [name_f]THEA[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] NN: [name_f]Fifi[/name_f], [name_f]Effie[/name_f], [name_u]Josie[/name_u], [name_u]Jojo[/name_u], Seph, [name_u]Joey[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] NN: Fliss, [name_f]Flick[/name_f], Flicka, Lissy

There are other names/nickname combos I like, but usually the nick name is just a shortened version of the full name. I like names where you can come up with a nick name that fits, but is a bit spunky and different sounding (i.e. [name_u]Jess[/name_u] for [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] isn’t my style but [name_f]Flick[/name_f] for [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] totally is)

Any other ideas? :slight_smile:

Thanks!
[name_u]Tayte[/name_u]

Hmm… I like vintage-ish names too : ) The hard part is finding ‘cool’ NN’s. But I’ll try:

[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]: [name_f]Eula[/name_f], [name_f]Lollie[/name_f], [name_f]Lallie[/name_f]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]: [name_f]Mina[/name_f], [name_u]Wallie[/name_u]
[name_f]Dolores[/name_f]: [name_m]Doll[/name_m], Oreo

Thanks guys! I actually think that [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] with nick name [name_f]Neve[/name_f] is cute. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] has never really been a name on my list, but I like it’s options as far as fun nick names goes! Thanks so much!
