I have named my 1 month old daughter Sophie Isabelle. I know the names are very popular but they are 2 we always liked. But I really wish now there were fun nicknames I could use rather than just Soph. Would it be weird to use nicknames for Isabelle when that is her middle name?

Can anyone give me some good ideas on nicknames...I need inspiration!

I agree, just see what happens. I was Lulabel, nothing to do with my name. I call my charges Tootie and Mr Moo, just cause :)

Do you feel that you HAVE to give her a nickname? Why not just call her Sophie - a beautiful name - and a nickname may evolve either from her own name, something funny she does etc? It seems a bit contrived to be thinking so hard about a nickname imo. Congratulations, by the way!

NN often have nothing to do with the child's real name, and they often develop over time.

For instance, when DS1 was little his nick name was Jim Jams - nothing like his real name!! It was just a nn that started when we were doig nappy changes...

How about Fizzy?

Lovely names by the way. Children just seem to pick up nicknames - my friend's daughter was called Moo and her name was nothing like it.

Sophie doesn't really need to be made into a nickname, its lovely as it is. My DS has a name that can't be shortened and he's mostly called Bob (his name isn't Robert).
