Lately I’ve been feeling uninspired so I’m looking for some fresh ideas.
There’s a few names on my list that I would class as vintage nicknames ([name_u]Reggie[/name_u] and [name_f]Ginny[/name_f]) so I would like to explore that category more!
Please list what you would class as vintage nicknames 
I always thought the name [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] was as vintage as they get, I especially love the name [name_f]Queenie[/name_f] (stand alone or nickname), I feel vintage to me is any name that could easily fit in past timelines, personally don’t see a Victorian princess to be named [name_u]Tegan[/name_u] or [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f], but I can see them be named [name_f]Frederica[/name_f] “[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]” or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] “[name_f]Margie[/name_f]”
Alfie came to mind first!
My favourite vintage nicknames are:
Nell
[name_u]Billie[/name_u]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Tilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Edie[/name_f]
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_u]Sunny[/name_u]
Gus
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_m]Cy[/name_m]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_u]Franky[/name_u]
[name_u]Ollie[/name_u]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Albie[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilf[/name_m]
[name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_m]Chet[/name_m]
[name_u]Dash[/name_u]
[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u]
Alfie is great! I feel like it clashes a little with my daughters name [name_f]Olive[/name_f] but I have [name_m]Alby[/name_m] on my list
I love [name_u]Frankie[/name_u], [name_u]Lou[/name_u] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f]! [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] and [name_f]Etta[/name_f] are off an on my list constantly! I hadn’t considered [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]
Great boy suggestions! [name_m]Chet[/name_m]/Chester is high on my list. A friend unfortunately (for me) used [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]! I like [name_m]Monty[/name_m], [name_u]Lou[/name_u] and [name_m]Albie[/name_m]
Thanks! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Bea[/name_f]! I might consider [name_f]Bea[/name_f] more actually…
