Hi i know these names are not to everyone's taste but we are after a name that is more "nicknamey" like these aboveGrin(we might have a longer name on BC depending on the name)

Would love more suggestions Grin

These names are ridiculous. Please remember you're naming a human.

Tattybogle89 · 12/06/2017 20:51

Dixie and pixie is the worst twin name combination I have EVER heard. Ridiculous...

I have a great aunt bunny. No idea what it's short for. Great uncle refers to her as bunbun.

I was known as mimi by my parents. Full name Emily. I suspect though it was because I didn't like my sister and wanted it to be all about "me me..."

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 12/06/2017 19:56

If you're really after daft names...

Little Pickle? Cuddles? Sweetie-Pie?

SuperBeagle · 12/06/2017 19:56

I'd rather be dead than be called any of those names

TrueSay · 12/06/2017 19:46

Pinkie

Please don't name a little girl Rory.

Lorelei Gilmore did, and it suited her.

Lemondrop99 · 12/06/2017 19:36

Sorry Sugarpie, didn't see your post!

Lemondrop99 · 12/06/2017 19:34

Dilys is a (old lady) name that could be shortened to Dilly

UsernameInvalid66 · 12/06/2017 17:31

Please don't name a little girl Rory.

NoCapes, Dilly can be short for Dilys.😄

Florence - Flossie

NennyNooNoo · 12/06/2017 16:36

That was my thought too. Mixie, short for mixematosis (or however you spell it).

sparechange · 12/06/2017 16:31

Mixie like the disease that rabbits get that causes their eyes to bulge out and then to die a horrible death?
What a lovely thing to concur up when naming your child!

FurryTrousers · 12/06/2017 16:11

We sort of used to know a little girl called Mixie.

I wasn't too keen on the name but everyone raved about it!

Dolwar · 12/06/2017 14:33

Are you naming a child? Or the newest Teletubby?

squoosh · 12/06/2017 14:32

Posh types with these names always have a sensible Victoria or Annabel on the birth cert. It's the kind thing to do.
