I would love to find as many nicknames for our name choices so we can choose our favorites. My family kind of runs on nicknames ([name]Lindy[/name] for [name]Melinda[/name], [name]Sadie[/name] for [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Bridey[/name] for [name]Bridget[/name] and [name]Caity[/name] for [name]Caitlin[/name] for me and sibblings.) Any help would be appreciate.

[name]Isolde[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Rowena[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Hermione[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] Halen - not a fan of [name]Pete[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]North[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]

Thanks
[name]Sadie[/name] and [name]Bjorn[/name]

[name]Just[/name] have to say that I [name]LOVE[/name] ALLLLLL of your name choices very very much, they are all wonderful. I still think you should bypass [name]Peter[/name] Halen if you don’t like [name]Pete[/name], though. Best of luck finding your favorite nicknames, hope these were of some help.

Thanks everyone so much. We have chosen the ones we love out of all your great lists. Some still need work but at least we have a clue were to start.

[name]Isolde[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - [name]Sully[/name]/[name]Solly[/name] (if we have a girl in 2 months this will be her!)
[name]Rowena[/name] [name]Claire[/name] - [name]Romy[/name] (i love this nn a lot!)
[name]Hermione[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - [name]Minnie[/name] (love it!)
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - Bitty (My fave out of all the nn’s)
[name]Peter[/name] Halen - I liked the [name]Peter[/name] [name]Pan[/name] idea and maybe we will incorporate never never land into his nn since if this baby is a boy this will be his name.
[name]Conrad[/name] [name]Gray[/name] - I told my husband the Radio idea and he comes back with ‘flyer’ as in the old school Radio Flyer wagons so maybe that will be incorporated some how.
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]North[/name] - Does [name]Neddy[/name] sound to feminine?
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] - Okay the nn suggestion of Mix got me thinking of Mixer for the MI in [name]Miles[/name] and the XER from [name]Xavier[/name]… reaching too far?

Obviously nn’s need to fit the child so maybe none of these will work, but if we have them it would stop my poor child being accidentally nn’d Pookie like my poor male cousin who can’t seem to live it down.
Leysin - about [name]Peter[/name]/[name]Pete[/name]. I love [name]Peter[/name] and it seems really regal to me, but [name]Pete[/name] just reminds me of farms and tractors. The extra ‘r’ makes all the difference.
