What is 'Till' or 'Tilly' a nickname for?

[bluelinetwice]

Expecting first dd and DP and I have fallen in love with the name 'Till' but neither of us want to use it as a full first name as we'd rather she had a more 'grown up' name in case she wants when she's older. Don't like Matilda but we're considering Tilda, but are there any other names that Till would be a nickname for?

[Littlestgirlguide]

My auntie Mildred is know as Till or Tilly. Mind you she's in her 80's.

[LadyRochford]

You could actually call her anything and still use nn Tilly.
Not that this is a reason, more an interesting observation, but have you ever noticed how v posh people often have a nn totally unrelated to their given name?

[Monkeymonstermum]

I thought Tilly most often used for Matilda but occ for Nathalie/Natalie.
I'm considering using it as a short form for Felicity.....I know, not the nearest abbreviation.....so waiting to see firstly if it is a girl, secondly if it sounds right to call her Tilly when I see her! COmpletely agree re long name on birth cert though.
