[name]Natalia[/name] - This is such a pretty name, I’ve always liked [name]Natalie[/name].
[name]Abby[/name] - I agree that [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Abbott[/name], and maybe even for [name]Aubrey[/name] or [name]Tabitha[/name] would be a better choice since [name]Abby[/name] feels to much like nn for something else.
[name]Clementine[/name] [dont like nn clem] - This one is not really my style, I think of the song and the fruit. Neither are bad associations though. I do really like the way this name looks written out.
[name]Bella[/name] - I feel this name is too popular and will be on the rise because of the movie Twilight. That aside I still think it is a pretty name but wouldn’t use it myself for the above reasons. [name]Arabella[/name] would be a less common route to [name]Bella[/name].
[name]Lydia[/name] - My absolute favorite and if I’m having a girl it is my first choice.
[name]Peyton[/name] - I love unisex names for girls.
[name]Allie[/name] - I love [name]Allie[/name]/[name]Ally[/name]/[name]Ali[/name] and have tried really hard to find a name that I love just to get use this name as a nn. A part of me feels this name is too much of a nn to stand fully on it’s own. I wont use it for my own personal use but I still love this name. [name]Alice[/name] is the name I would use I were set on [name]Allie[/name] as a nn. There are other lovely names beginning with “[name]Al[/name]-” that could also achieve [name]Allie[/name] as a nn.
[name]Madelyn[/name] - I use to like names ending in -lyn but this site has helped me come into the light. I now prefer -line endings. [name]Madeline[/name] is pretty but very close to trendy [name]Madison[/name].
[name]Cara[/name] - I love this name. If I didn’t have a daughter already named [name]Kira[/name] I would consider [name]Cara[/name] for a name now.
[name]Norah[/name] - I love [name]Nora[/name], spelled this way.
[name]Shiloh[/name] - I’ve never been a fan of this name even before “Brangelina”.
[name]Sienna[/name] - I’m not the biggest fan of [name]Sienna[/name] but I do like it better than [name]Sierra[/name] which is trendy in my area.

I think that my views will be very much similar to the other posters’, but I’ll give my input anyway :

[name]Natalia[/name] - quite nice.
[name]Abby[/name] - this is not substantial enough to stand alone. [name]How[/name] about [name]Abigail[/name] or Abeni, nn [name]Abby[/name].
[name]Clementine[/name] - I love this, but if you don’t like [name]Clem[/name]/[name]Clemie[/name], then I think you should avoid this one.
[name]Bella[/name] - this is pretty, although set to become more popular because of the Twilight phenomenon. I like it better as a nn for [name]Isabella[/name] (popular), [name]Annabel[/name] (popular), [name]Arabella[/name] or [name]Mirabelle[/name].
[name]Lydia[/name] - lovely.
[name]Peyton[/name] - much too trendy for my taste.
[name]Allie[/name] - as a nn for [name]Alice[/name], [name]Alicia[/name] or [name]Alison[/name], this is lovely, but it is most definitely not substantial enough to stand on its own.
[name]Madelyn[/name] - why [name]Madelyn[/name]? What’s wrong with [name]Madeleine[/name]? The pronunciation is the same and it looks much nicer, and is much less trendy and datable.
[name]Cara[/name] - absolutely beautiful
[name]Norah[/name] - lovely - I adore this feminine, quirky, classic.
[name]Shiloh[/name] - this has now been made unusable by Brangelina.
[name]Sienna[/name] - pretty.

My favourites are, in order :
[name]Cara[/name]
[name]Norah[/name]
[name]Sienna[/name].

Good luck!
