Harry, Hildie, and ... ? Help me with nicknames

Girl Names
1

Number 1 picks for future littles include [name_m]Horatio[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Harry[/name_m]) and [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Hildie[/name_f]). I plan on having three kids, so if I have a boy and a girl nicknamed [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_f]Hildie[/name_f], I would probably want to complete the sibset with another H nickname.

The name itself does NOT have to begin with H, and I would somewhat prefer that it didn’t so that they would each have unique initials.
That said, [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Heloise[/name_f], and [name_f]Hedwig[/name_f] are on my long list of names in consideration.

What H nicknames would go well with [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_f]Hildie[/name_f]?

You can completely dissect the nicknames from their source names, or you can feel free to include some clever name/nickname pairings to guide me.

Thanks!

[name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is the first thing that comes to mind.

@boyandgirl, [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is definitely on our list! The [name_f]Hedwig[/name_f] in our family always went by [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], so there’s the family connection as well.

@dearest, I love [name_f]Holly[/name_f] and [name_f]Honey[/name_f] as nicknames. We like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], Chrysanthe ([name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] is on our list), [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], and [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], so thanks for the unique nn options!

@dragon_flame, [name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] nn [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] is a DEFINITE possibility. [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] was one of my absolute favorite books growing up, and I think it goes really nicely with [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_f]Hildie[/name_f].
Also thanks, I love your sig names, too!
