If your child had this nickname, what would their full name be 🕊

General Name Discussion
1

I have several “nickname names” on my list, and I always finding myself looking for a full name for them, so instead of asking what names does the nickname work for, I thought I’d do this! Basically, I’ve made a list of the nickname names I like, and want to know…

If you had a child nicknamed these names, what would their full name be?

[name_u]Sunny[/name_u]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
[name_f]Effie[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]

[name_m]Dewey[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Bear[/name_u]
Ozzy/Ozzie
Indy/Indie

I can’t wait to read all of your responses, berries :tulip:

[name_u]Sunny[/name_u] — either [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] or something totally different sound-wise like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] — [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] or [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] — [name_f]Beata[/name_f]
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f] — [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Effie[/name_f] — [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f] or [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f] — [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]

[name_u]Sunny[/name_u] — [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]! [name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe [name_f]Summer[/name_f].
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] — I honestly prefer [name_f]Lila[/name_f] on its own, but maybe for [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]? [name_f]Lilavati[/name_f]?
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] — [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f] — [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]! Honestly though, I think [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] can be a cute term of endearment for anyone and doesn’t really have to connect to the name.
[name_f]Effie[/name_f] — Hmm, probably [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]? I can also see it as a nickname for any name starting with F.
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f] — [name_f]My[/name_f] guilty pleasure love is [name_f]Pipaluk[/name_f], but realistically [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] or [name_u]Piper[/name_u] or on its own.
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] — I am incapable of choosing between [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]! Also love [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].

[name_m]Dewey[/name_m] — I honestly don’t know! I can’t think of any names off the top of my head.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] — [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] or [name_m]Finbar[/name_m]! Also love [name_f]Finja[/name_f] “Finn” for a girl.
[name_u]Bear[/name_u] — I think this is another name like [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] that can just be a cute nickname for anyone! If I had to choose though, probably [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (From [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] bear).
Ozzy/Ozzie — I love [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], otherwise maybe [name_m]Oswald[/name_m] or [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]?
Indy/Indie — Maybe [name_u]Meridian[/name_u], [name_u]Linden[/name_u], or [name_f]Rupinder[/name_f]? All the other options I can think of are girl names!

So basically I’m just really indecisive and like too many names :sweat_smile:.

What a good idea! I’d name my babes…

  1. Sunshine “Sunny” or Susannah “Sunny”

  2. Lavinia “Lila” or Louisa “Lila” or Elizabeth “Lila”

  3. Beulah “Bea”

  4. Florence “Birdie” or, reasonably, Bernadette “Birdie” (I think that “Birdie” can be a nickname for anything of the child is chirpy or flitty enough!)

  5. Really, any sweet F name (eg. Felicity, Florence, or Frances, my loves!) “Effie” or my beloved Josephine “Effie” when I’m not calling her Jo.

  6. Philippa “Pippa” or Phebe “Pippa”

  7. Rose “Rosie” (Though, I prefer “Rosy” spelling!)

  8. Andrew “Dewey” (The best I got, I think.)

  9. Phineas “Finn” or Griffin “Finn” (But really, I prefer this one as Fionnuala “Finn” for a girl!)

  10. Theodore “(Teddy) Bear” or Friedrich “Bear” (A niche and lovely LW reference.)

  11. Oswald “Ozzy”

  12. Ian David “Indy” or Ian Davy “Indy”

Fun!

Sunny-Susanna!

Lila-Hm. I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] on its own…maybe [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]?

Bea-Beatrix is my favorite, but I like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatriz[/name_f] too. If you were to spell it [name_f]Bee[/name_f], I kind of think that it could be a nn for any ‘B’ name. Plus [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] & [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].

Birdie-Bernadette or [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]

Effie-Elspeth?

Pippa-Philippa

Rosie-I love [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Also good are [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] & [name_f]Primrose[/name_f].

Dewey-Dwight feels natural, but I don’t care for that myself…I think maybe [name_u]Dawson[/name_u] could work.

Finn-I love [name_u]Finn[/name_u] on its own, but also really like [name_m]Finnian[/name_m]. Also good are [name_u]Finnegan[/name_u] & [name_m]Phineas[/name_m].

Bear-I know a [name_m]Bjorn[/name_m] nn [name_u]Bear[/name_u], which is fun. I think I like [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] most though.

Ozzy/Ozzie-I prefer [name_u]Ozzie[/name_u]. And I think I like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] the best, but [name_m]Oslo[/name_m] is cute.

Indy/Indie-I don’t know. I don’t think that I mind [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] for a boy.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:
