I love [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Penny[/name], [name]Tess[/name], and [name]Millie[/name], but wouldn’t necessarily want to use the full names associated with them. I might end up using some of them as pet names.
[name]Lottie[/name]. [name]Lovely[/name].
My great grandfather’s nn was Dime. I have never heard this used as a name or a nn besides him and I quite like it. I really wish I knew the story behind it but I don’t. His name was [name]Loyce[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]. My grandfather was [name]Loyce[/name] [name]Gordon[/name], [name]Jr[/name] but everyone called him L.G.
I like [name]Hattie[/name] (I don’t like any names that go with [name]Hattie[/name] as a nickname though) and [name]Lettie[/name] ([name]Letitia[/name]). I don’t like nicknames for boys. All in all I’m not too into nicknames.
I don’t really like nickname-names. I love nicknames, but prefer them to be a term of endearment or something that the older sibling came up with, or something that just fits them perfectly or randomly happened. The nickname chooses you, I firmly believe.
But … I just ran across [name]Cricket[/name] and thought that would be such an adorable nickname on a little girl.
[name]Dulcie[/name]
[name]Elsie[/name]
[name]Jo[/name]
some of mine…
Loved the idea of the nickname [name]Scout[/name] for [name]Scarlett[/name]!
