Surname along the lines of 'Lilly' ie. feminine, ends in y, flowery. Needs a 'strong' forename to go with it.

Looking for something a similar format to DD1s name- longer formal full name, with more 'cutesy' nn.

I like Charlotte (nn Lottie) and Isabel (nn Izzy) but they're a bit too popular for me.

Current ideas are;
Dorothea or Dorothy nn Dolly/Dottie/Dot
Persephone nn Effie/Sephy
Penelope nn Penny

Would love to hear any ideas which you think might fit, thanks :)

Alexandra (or Alexandria, if you can stand the connection with the US politician), can be shortened to Alex (though that might sound boyish since it is more commonly linked to the male version Alexander), or something like Lexy/ie?
