Names with nn Tilly?

Girl Names
1

So my great grandmother had the fabulous name [name]Matilda[/name], with nickname [name]Tilly[/name] (she was called Grandma [name]Tilly[/name]). I love both [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Tilly[/name], but [name]Matilda[/name] just doesn’t sound good with my last name (also a three syllable name beginning with M and ending in a). Does anyone know any other way to get to [name]Tilly[/name] that is not [name]Matilda[/name]?

I love vintage classics, so if you know name in that style they’d be top picks. Also, I’m no where near TTC, just love names :slight_smile:

Etily is the only other name I have seen, which I think is pretty but would often be misread [name]Emily[/name]. I love the nn [name]Tilly[/name]!

3

[name]Ottilie[/name]? Or MAYBE [name]Elisabeth[/name]? [name]Chantilly[/name] nn [name]Tilly[/name] is a gp of mine, but I’m not sure how usable it is. It seems sort of down market to me.

4

I can see [name]Millicent[/name] being a [name]Tilly[/name].

5

Or [name]Clotilda[/name]?

6

I like the idea of [name]Talia[/name] (tal-ya) or [name]Tallulah[/name] being [name]Tilly[/name] for short. I could also see [name]Tilda[/name] or [name]Clotilda[/name].

Secretly I like Tillandsia but I’m not really going to use it and probably nobody else is either.

7

[name]Talise[/name] or [name]Talitha[/name] maybe?

Or just name her [name]Tilly[/name].

8

My first thought, besides Matlida, was [name]Ottilie[/name]. It’s unusual but still pretty. There’s also [name]Ottoline[/name].

9

[name]Ottilie[/name] was the first one that came to mind. Or maybe [name]Ottaline[/name]? Also possible: [name]Natalie[/name], [name]Catalina[/name],

10

[name]Tilda[/name]
Tillery
Tinuviel
[name]Tivoli[/name]

11

Perhaps maybe [name]Mathilde[/name] the french form of [name]Matilda[/name]?

12

I love [name]Natalie[/name]! And [name]Tallulah[/name] too, though I’m not sure how usable it is where I am.

13

I heard someone (probably on Nameberry - I apologize for not crediting them) say they liked [name]Tigerlily[/name] NN [name]Tilly[/name]. I actually like it, but wouldn’t be brave enough to use it.

14

[name]How[/name] about [name]Felicity[/name]? It’s a bit of a stretch but I think it still works!

15

I’ve heard of a [name]Natalia[/name] who went by [name]Tally[/name] to her friends be called [name]Tilly[/name] by her mom.

16

[name]Millicent[/name]!

17

I love [name]Ottilie[/name]! I think its a gorgeous, totally intuitive way to get [name]Tilly[/name] and sounds like it would flow well with your surname!! [name]Tiger[/name] [name]Lily[/name] nn [name]Tilly[/name] is a total guilty pleasure for me :slight_smile: I like [name]Tilda[/name] too… Or just plain [name]Tilly[/name] or [name]Tilly[/name]-[name]Rose[/name]. Final thought…I see you’ve got [name]Charlotte[/name] is your signature… It would be a bit of a stretch but not inconceivable to use nn [name]Tilly[/name] for [name]Charlotte[/name]!

I like just [name]Tilly[/name]. It is so cute and vintage! I like it better than [name]Matilda[/name].
