Falling for more nicknamey names!

Girl Names
1

I have never minded nicknamey names but I never thought I would considered some for any of my children but recently when researching names I think of possible nicknames and end up liking the nicknmaes way more than the actual name.

Here are some nicknamey (not all are nicknames but have that sort of feeling to them)names that we like:
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassie[/name_f]

Any other names we should consider? Thoughts on the names above?

Thanks!

I love nicknamey names! Unfortunately so many are really popular here (and end up on my GP list). [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] being two of them. I quite like [name_f]Lola[/name_f] too. Others I love/like are:

[name_f]Pippi[/name_f]
[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Trixie[/name_f]
Etsy (okay, this is a GP for a different reason, but it sounds so cute)
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lettie[/name_f]
Saffy
Elkie
[name_f]Elfie[/name_f]
[name_f]Essie[/name_f]
[name_f]Indie[/name_f] (slightly prefer on a boy, but still like for a girl)

I cannot really add any more to the previous poster’s suggestions but I can relate with you loving nickname names.

5

I’m not a nickname as full name lover personally but I have to say I adore [name_f]Marnie[/name_f], such a sweet name!

6

I like nicknames as nicknames only. However, I don’t mind when the child only goes by their nickname, I just like them to have an option for when they’re older.
From your list, I wouldn’t put [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] in the nickname category, they very much feel like full names to me.

7

I can relate! They just seem really fresh and fun! I love [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] from your list! Some of my other favorites are…

[name_f]Sosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]
[name_u]Colbie[/name_u]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_u]Keeley[/name_u]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
[name_u]Penny[/name_u]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tilly[/name_f]
[name_u]Tallie[/name_u]
[name_f]Irie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] are names I’m constantly torn between (and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - I don’t want a bouquet!), but if I had a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] she’d be called [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. They’re just lovely.

Me too…or three. :wink:

I love [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. These sort of names are popular in [name_f]England[/name_f] (not stupidly popular, but at least in the top 30).

I also adore [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Marcie[/name_f].

Others:

[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_f]Indie[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]

I also love nicknames as first names, and wish they were more popular where I live, but sadly, there’s an idea about nicknames on the birth certificate here, that seems non-existent in the UK (my style is basically fresh off the [name_f]England[/name_f] & [name_m]Wales[/name_m] top 1000, but anywho).

[name_f]Evie[/name_f] - so pretty! I know an [name_f]Evie[/name_f] who moved to my school from [name_m]Wales[/name_m] when I was younger. I believe her name was short for [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], but still, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is gorgeous.

[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] - I have [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] on my own list, I love how fresh it feels, and how it adds a little flair to [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

[name_f]Lola[/name_f] - I like the name [name_f]Lola[/name_f], but, it isn’t my favourite.

[name_f]Sadie[/name_f] - lovely! I wish this one was usable for me :confused:

[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] - eh, I’m a bit bored with [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], because, being on Twitter, as a fan of English bands, I’ve interacted with a lot of fellow fans from the UK, and a large majority are named [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Megan[/name_f] or [name_f]Amy[/name_f].

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] - gorgeous, I love the Pride and Prejudice connection!

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is on my own list, love it :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] - [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is used a lot where I live, so I slightly prefer [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], but I love both.

[name_f]Cassie[/name_f] - while [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] is very nice, I went to school with several girls named [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] (either [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f], [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], or just [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] on the birth certificate), so this feels very 1990s to me.

I would suggest:

[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]/[name_f]Milly[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] - [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] Dornan from 50 Shades recently named his daughter this, it’s so pretty!
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
[name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]

[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmie[/name_f]/[name_f]Emmy[/name_f]/[name_f]Emme[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]

[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f]

I have been experiencing the same thing lately! My youngest daughter is named [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] but we are loving her nickname, [name_f]Evie[/name_f], more than the full name.

[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]- I love this! And I like that it’s a twist on a flower name so you can get away with two flowers in a sibset
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]- I have a bad association, wish I didn’t because it’s pretty name, written as well.
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]- When I was 8 I named my cat [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] :slight_smile: [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] is pretty, sweet, but not too girly- ages well imo and relatively uncommon
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]- I’ve never been a fan of [name_f]El[/name_f] names on girls, something masculine about it- but I don’t think anyone would agree with me
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]- I don’t like the “[name_f]Liza[/name_f]” noise just a personal thing
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]- [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] used to be one of my least favorite names in the flower family- but lately since It’s dropped in popularity I’m liking it a lot - I love longer, more traditional or even antiquated names paired in the middle. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] is a guilty pleasure right now<33
Lily- A name I will always love despite popularity. Something so elegant, feminine, simple, and classic- just like the flower :slight_smile:
Cassie- this to me dosn’t really fit with your other names, maybe with Daisy. Cassie feels almost 90’s too me, I know it’s been around forever because of Cassandra, but It feels more dated-modern

Lately I have been obsessed with

Mina
Esme
Sylvie
Georgie
