Short MN to go with Billie

meggeh · September 19, 2020, 11:05pm

I need help with middle names that are either one-syllable or could be shortened to one-syllable to follow [name_u]Billie[/name_u].

So, [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] ([name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]…) for example. I need something to differentiate between calling DH and potential future DD. He’s pretty set on [name_u]Billie[/name_u], but not as a nn for [name_f]Willa[/name_f] or something else. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_u]Billie[/name_u].

I’ve looked through so many names but can’t find many that work!

I wouldn’t go for [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. Too reminiscent of [name_u]Billy[/name_u] Mays of infomercial fame. I would suggest:

Billie [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Laine[/name_u]/Layne/Lane
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Anne[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f])
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Flo[/name_f] or [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Floss[/name_f])
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] ([name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Viv[/name_f])
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Moon[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (but it’s kind of a mouthful)
Bills [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Fay[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Fran[/name_u])
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Melodia[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Mel[/name_u])
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Nell[/name_f])

Billie could also be [name_u]Willow[/name_u] or [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], but I prefer it on its own.

I love [name_u]Billie[/name_u]. It is quite hard though to pair with a one syllable middle; so many good options start with an L or have L in them and don’t quite work with [name_u]Billie[/name_u]. I think [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] for [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] works really well though! Here are a few ideas:

Billie [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]/Billie [name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u] (or [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u])
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Noa[/name_u] (two syllables but still short and sweet)
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]/Billie [name_u]Day[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f]/Billie [name_f]Sun[/name_f] (maybe?)
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/Billie [name_f]Bel[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]/Billie [name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]/Billie [name_u]Del[/name_u]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]/Billie [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]/Billie [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]/Billie Vee
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]/Billie [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]/Billie O

Billie [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Bea[/name_f] are my favourites.

Ooh, there are some good ones! Thank you everyone!

This would be strictly for talking to her so there isn’t confusion between her and DH. For everything else she’d just be [name_u]Billie[/name_u].

I was loving [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Lu[/name_f] (for [name_f]Luna[/name_f], maybe) but DH said it’s too many Ls.

I’ll bring these up to DH and we’ll see what we end up with. Thanks!

I love the idea of naming your DD after your DH! & [name_u]Billie[/name_u] is so cool. [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sounds very country bumpkin to me (not a bad thing!). Here are some ideas:

Billie [name_u]June[/name_u] (which is kinda cute because it’s like [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_m]Junior[/name_m])
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] ([name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Liv[/name_f])

Something to think about would be a play on her initials as well. I know a [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] G**** and she goes by [name_f]Meg[/name_f].
