That's it really, I really like pie but am stuck for a 'proper' name that could be shortened to this.

Thanks!

Pie?

It would be disastrous if your child went through a chubby phase.

Why didn't my strike outs work.

Bugger.

I'm liking Piper and Honey-Pie but then I want to burst into song.....

DS is Nemo, after the Disney character....

DD is bolshie little mare Boo.

If you go with just Pie, I'd spell it Pyh.

A child with the name Pie? Seriously? I don't think you're going to get many people supporting this idea! If Jamie Oliver or Jonathan Ross or some such celebrity called their child Honey-Pie or just Pie for that matter the press would have a field-day with all the puns they could use as it would just be laughable nonsense....however cute you may think it will sound to be calling "Sweetie-Pie" to your angelic looking 2 year old, think to the future and the opportunity for people ripping the mickey out of her later down the line!! If she so much as puts on an ounce of puppy-fat in her teens she won't thank you then when people at school are calling her Pork-Pie!
It really is a bit of an odd name in my opinion, sorry!

Our dd is known to all family member as pickle. Which bears absolutely no relevance to her real name whatsoever!

Pie as in 'don't be shy show us your pie'?

asdx2 · 27/01/2011 19:52

I don't think nn have to be a direct link to the official name tbh. My dd is named Lucy but we call her Pearl because it suits her and I tell her we called her that because she is small and precious Grin

Pie can be a nickname for any name. My youngest has the first 2 initials of KP. I call her Peanut.

I was just going to suggest that Norbert. It has a certain je ne sais que

Just makes me think pie-faceShock

Please don't inflict this on your DD.

BrianAndHisBalls · 27/01/2011 19:44

What about going double barrelled - 'Louise-Pie' or 'Sharon-Pie' or 'Mabel-Pie'?

They have quite a nice ring and then she'd have a 'normal' fiorst name if she wanted to drop 'pie' at a later date??

BrianAndHisBalls · 27/01/2011 19:43

pie-kay-a.

isnt that what non pc types call Ikea??

Rhubarbgarden · 27/01/2011 19:42

I used to know a cat that was Pie short for Magpie.

Not sure I understand the teddy comment? Confused

Thankyou for all the sensible suggestions Smile Will look up Pie Corbett, although I think I prefer the spelling Pai.

Well our DD gets called PicklePie and she has a name that sounds mothing like it.

spiderlight · 27/01/2011 19:41

We have a Megan > Meg > Meg-pie > Pie, but she's a springer spaniel so she doesn't mind!
