Retro Nicknames?

Girl Names
1

I love nicknames as firsts, despite how unpopular they seem to be on here, and I’m looking to expand my list a little bit.

I have a lot of currently popular choices on my list ([name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]), and Victorian choices ([name_f]Effie[/name_f], [name_f]Florrie[/name_f], [name_f]Lillie[/name_f]), but I’m looking for suggestions of nickname names from the 40s, 50s and 60s (and maybe 70s??) like [name_f]Marcie[/name_f], [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], [name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_u]Mandy[/name_u], and [name_f]Susie[/name_f] :slight_smile:

Thanks!

I absolutely loathe [name_f]Effie[/name_f] as a name for the simple reason it reminds me of the “f” word in swearing. While many people DONT use the full word , I have heard it as “effing”. Please don’t do that to a child.

That’s nice, but I adore the name and plan on using it anyways.

Thanks for suggestions everyone, lots to think about!
