Name Similar to Sydney "Syd" that goes with Theo

So I’m not exactly looking for a name that is similar, but mostly has a cute one-syllable nn. If I was using the name [name_u]Sydney[/name_u], the last line in the story would be “Goodnight, [name_u]Syd[/name_u].” The character is going to be a high school girl who is super feminine and the title will be ___ and [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

I already started writing this little teen romance story with [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] “[name_u]Tate[/name_u]” and I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Tate[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] but “Goodnight, [name_u]Tate[/name_u].” sounds a bit weird to me. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t know. It doesn’t hurt to look for suggestions. My options so far have been

[name_u]Tatum[/name_u] “[name_u]Tate[/name_u]” -[name_u]Tate[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] - “Goodnight, [name_u]Tate[/name_u].”
[name_f]Daysy[/name_f] “[name_u]Day[/name_u]” -[name_f]Daysy[/name_f] abd [name_u]Theo[/name_u] - “Goodnight, [name_u]Day[/name_u].”
[name_u]Allie[/name_u] “[name_m]Al[/name_m]” - [name_u]Allie[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] - “Goodnight, [name_m]Al[/name_m].”
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] “[name_f]Lil[/name_f]” - [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] - “Goodnight, [name_f]Lil[/name_f].”
[name_u]Izzy[/name_u] “Iz” - [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] - “Goodnight, Iz.”

Any suggestions will help, but I might just stick with [name_u]Tate[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] if I can’t find anything. I’m new here, so I’m sorry if this post is confusing :’) I’ll clear up any questions.

From your list, I like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] best. It fits the description and “Goodnight, [name_f]Lil[/name_f]” is super cute.

The issue for me with some most of these is the full names are already nicknames. [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] and [name_u]Allie[/name_u] are already nicknames for fuller names, and don’t really need to be shortened. If it were [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] or [name_u]Alexis[/name_u]— “Goodnight, Iz/[name_u]Izzy[/name_u]” or “Goodnight [name_u]Allie[/name_u]/[name_m]Al[/name_m]”—then it would make more sense to me. I like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] best, I think. [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] is cute but [name_u]Tate[/name_u] is all boy to me so unless her personality is more tomboyish, it sounds weird on a girl.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] please don’t use [name_f]Daysy[/name_f]. It hurts my eyes and I almost want to say it day-sigh. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] nn [name_u]Day[/name_u] works fine, if you end up going with that but like I said, [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is best :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] is becoming a huge possibility

[name_f]Daysy[/name_f] also hurt my eyes, I just didn’t have the heart to tell one of my friends that. I just know too many [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]'s in person to use that spelling and name at this point. I actually really like [name_u]Alexis[/name_u] and now that you brought that already a nn thing, I completely agree and know what you mean.

Thank you! :slight_smile:
