It's actually for a character in a book but I need a fairly posh name but with a slightly hippyish vibe, preferably one that can easily be mistaken for another name or one that lends itself to silly nicknames. I was thinking Cressida but that's not quite right.

Laetitia - the posh Latinate version that gets mistaken for more modern versions such as Latisha (and even the mythical La-a) plus the rather unfortunate Titty?

Lettice?
