Tatiana is lovely and goes nicely with Nina. I like Tania or Tatia as nicknames rather than Tatty though!

MadameJosephine · 23/10/2016 15:48

Love Tatiana and I think with Russian heritage you can carry it off

MustDashMoustache · 23/10/2016 12:19

Isadora, I'm not a fan of the other two names.
Dd is Dora (Theodora) and isadora was on our list

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/10/2016 12:18

I love Isadora.

BertrandRussell · 23/10/2016 12:16

Depends. Isadora if it's a human baby.

Either of the other two if it's a chihuahua pup.

SorenaJ · 23/10/2016 12:14

Isadora

DiegeticMuch · 23/10/2016 10:37

Lillibet - seems as if you're channeling the Queen.

The other two are very stylish but I'd go for Tatiana as a nod to the ancestry.

Veterinari · 23/10/2016 10:23

Tatiana is lovely
I know an adult, successful (non-English) Lillibet who live in London and has no problems with her name. Suspect it's commoner in Russia and not just a diminutive

I find isadora clunky and it will be shortened to Izzy by classmates

Isadora

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/10/2016 10:04

Sorry OP, I prefer Elizabeth, and the many nick names it offers.

Enidblyton1 · 23/10/2016 00:17

Tatiana and Isadora both lovely. My fave is Tatiana. I know one, shortened to Tatty. It's unusual, yet easy to pronounce and spell.
Not a fan of Lillibet either. Fine only as a nickname to Elizabeth.

AndNowItsSeven · 23/10/2016 00:05

I wouldn't want my baby's name to be " gift of Isis" even if it's the other Isis.

GinevraPotter · 23/10/2016 00:03

Tatiana
Isadora

Lillibet

Let's just hope she's not a tom boy

ErrolTheDragon · 22/10/2016 22:43

I quite like Isadora.

Def not 'Lillibet' - name her Elizabeth and use it as a NN when she's little if you must, she can always decide to be a Liz, Lizzy or Beth when she's outgrown it.

Loyly · 22/10/2016 22:38

Tatiana

19Hannah · 22/10/2016 22:35

None, but hopefully their friends will shorten! Lily or Izzy..

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 22/10/2016 22:30

Isadora

Lilibet sounds too much like a pet name rather than a real name IMO

Tatiana is ok but I much prefer Isadora

P.s. I recently read 'fear of flying' and the protagonist is called Isadora. Great book

livinglooney8 · 22/10/2016 22:30

Tatiana is a beautiful name. Knew one shortened to Tatty with friends.
Love Isadora too. Prefer Dora as nn as tons of Izzies here yawn.
Prefer Elizabeth to lillibet.
Unusual beautiful choices and a breath of fresh air from the usual Evies/Isabellas/Islas/ Amelias etc.

FunnysInLaJardin · 22/10/2016 22:30

I love Lillibet, tis a fab name

Cockadoodledooo · 22/10/2016 22:29

Lillibet is a nickname imo. I think with Russian heritage I'd go for Tatiana.

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 22/10/2016 22:26

Lillibet is a nickname for Elizabeth.

Tatiana seems very Russian, so does that work with your situation?

Isadora is pretty, but will it be shortened to Izzy? Are you ok with that?

BendydickCuminsnatch · 22/10/2016 22:23

I'd probably go for Tatiana out of the 3 - Lillibet incredibly twee and lispy, Isadora is quite dumpy and makes me think of Wizadora and will blend in to all the other Izzies out there. Tatiana is nice but quite princessy.

albertcampionscat · 22/10/2016 22:19

Elizabeth with Lillibet as nn?
