I loved the idea another [name]Berry[/name] suggested of using [name]Sonny[/name] however we have a cousin w. this name. Wondering if anyone has any other creative suggestions for a nick name for [name]Fiona[/name] Lilidh as I’m struggling with her name. I don’t like any of the typical [name]Fiona[/name] nicknames ie [name]Fia[/name], [name]Fee[/name], [name]Fifi[/name], onie, etc etc.
I also loved the [name]Nellie[/name] suggestion (derived from Na sound in [name]Fiona[/name] and Li sound in Lilidh prn [name]Lily[/name] by the way).
Any other suggestions? Sorry what a confusing post haha I am just so torn and struggling here.
For a stretch, [name]Nellie[/name], Nallie, [name]Annie[/name]/[name]Ana[/name], [name]Nala[/name], Yonnie, or Finlie/Finnlie/Finnie would work! Good luck!
Thank you everyone! Lots of choices…I think nicknames kind of just have to flow naturally but least gives me some options to try out and maybe something will stick.
We have a [name]Fiona[/name] at the daycare, and I accidentally called her [name]Fina[/name] one day (a smoosh of her name and her best friend at daycare’s name). I think [name]Fina[/name] could totally work as a nickname, as could [name]Nina[/name].
I like the [name]Nellie[/name] idea too, but would prefer something like Nallie or Naly.
Since [name]Fiona[/name] is the feminine form of [name]Fionn[/name] which is from Finniegan, what about [name]Fin[/name]/[name]Finn[/name]?
I like the idea combining [name]Fiona[/name] and Lilidh to reach a nn. Maybe Ulie, [name]Olie[/name] or [name]Nollie[/name]? They are kinda funky. Working with Lilidh gets you closer to that --ee sound you prefer in [name]Sadie[/name].
[name]Just[/name] had a huuuuuge chat with my best friend and [name]Fiona[/name]'s god mother…and she suggested Fillie and I think I [name]LOVE[/name] it. Going to try it out and hopefully will feel natural and allow me to have a cutesy nickname for her and then hopefully as she gets older [name]Fiona[/name] will feel more natural since it feels more mature maybe.
Fillie’s very cute, especially since a filly is a young female horse (which I guess could be a negative connotation, but to me it’s just adorable). Good luck!
I normally call the [name]Fiona[/name] in my life “[name]Fiorella[/name]”… I don’t know why, it’s just what comes out. I like [name]Faye[/name] and Filly too though.
I think Filly is very cute. I was also going to suggest [name]Aly[/name] (fionA li[name]LEE[/name]) or [name]Annie[/name] ( fioNA li[name]LEE[/name]). Basically a nn can be anything you want it to be. My full name is [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Lee[/name] and I always hated being called [name]Alex[/name] so when I was in [name]Junior[/name] High I started going by [name]Andie[/name] and that has been my name ever since (alex[name]ANDra[/name] lEE). It is a bit of a stretch but really anything can work if you want it to.
Thank you…my mom pointed out that Fillie just sounds like [name]Philly[/name] (a man’s name) and so that upset me ugh. [name]Will[/name] keep trying hah I think Fillie is cute but I am also thinking that a nickname may just develop as she gets older
I still like Fillie - yeah, it sounds like [name]Philly[/name], but it brings to mind little foals and that’s just darling to me. Besides - [name]Charlotte[/name] - [name]Charlie[/name] is pretty popular, I don’t think Fillie would be a big deal.
