[name_f]Birdie[/name_f] - [name_f]Aderyn[/name_f], [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], [name_f]Bedelia[/name_f], [name_f]Albertine[/name_f], and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] are my favorite ways to get to it, other than something like [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_f]Wren[/name_f], etc.!
[name_f]Lola[/name_f] - I would use [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f], but I realize it’s not that intuitive. I also love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Eliora[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Dolores[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f].
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] - [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f], [name_f]Lillevi[/name_f], [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] - [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Evodie[/name_f], [name_f]Evolet[/name_f], [name_f]Eviana[/name_f], [name_f]Evadne[/name_f], [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Everly[/name_f]
Emme/Emmie - [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is my favorite, but I think [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], and anything with the initials ME (like [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] Esme) work really well.
[name_f]Sunny[/name_f] - my favorite is [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], but I think just [name_f]Sunny[/name_f] is nice, or maybe something like [name_f]Addison[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sunny[/name_f]!
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] - I know it’s traditionally short for [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], that always seemed odd to me. I used to know a [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sally[/name_f] too, which I think works well.
Dot/Dottie - [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]? Drawing a blank for anything else.
[name_f]Mira[/name_f] - MIRA! Oh, she’s so lovely. If [name_f]Vera[/name_f] wasn’t in my top 5, she would almost definitely be on my list. I’d use her as a standalone, but I like [name_f]Mirabella[/name_f], [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], [name_f]Miraya[/name_f], [name_f]Mirielle[/name_f], [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], [name_f]Mirabai[/name_f], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]? I don’t know that it’s an actual name, but I think something like Miralie is sweet, in theory, too. I’m a sucker for made-up names ending in -lie like [name_f]Floralie[/name_f] and Miralie etc.
[name_f]Honey[/name_f] - honestly, not really sure, maybe [name_f]Melissa[/name_f]? I think she means honeybee. [name_f]Deborah[/name_f] nn [name_f]Honey[/name_f] too.
Bea/Bee - [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is my favorite, but [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] would also work. Same with Melissa/Deborah.
[name_f]Tilly[/name_f] - for a boy, not sure, I like [name_m]Tilden[/name_m], but always thought of it as a girls name, like [name_m]Tilden[/name_m] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tilly[/name_f].
[name_m]Tolly[/name_m] - love [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] nn [name_m]Tolly[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Tolliver[/name_m] could work too, although my association with the name isn’t positive.
[name_m]Ace[/name_m] - [name_m]Asa[/name_m]?
[name_m]Ari[/name_m] - [name_f]Ariel[/name_f], [name_m]Aramis[/name_m], [name_m]Aristotle[/name_m], [name_f]Arden[/name_f]? I’m sure there’s other -ar- names, I’m blanking at the moment.
[name_m]Percy[/name_m] - [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] and [name_m]Percival[/name_m] are my first thoughts, but I’m a big fan of just [name_m]Percy[/name_m]!
[name_m]Ash[/name_m] - [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Ashton[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]?
