@susannach My grandmother was called Elizabeth but known as Kitty. It had never seemed strange to me but now that I think of it... maybe not. I do like Lizzie as well though, also Bess/Bessie.

Thomas (Thom) and Philippa (Pippa).

Kitty as a nickname for Elizabeth is a new one on me — it’s traditionally short for Katherine, isn’t it?

Thomas and Elizabeth! Beautiful names!

I agree about Alexandra. It's a beautiful name but I'm not so keen on Alex as a nickname.
To be honest, all your names are really nice. I'm just put off Edward and Sophia because they're so popular.
