I like names that can be shortened to nick names and want a name where the shorter version will be used the most day to day, will be introduced as shorter name. I know a lot of people don't like this or say just use the short version on birth certificate but I want to give options for when they're older on CV's etc.

Phillipa - Pippa
Harriet - Hattie
Katherine - Kitty - Don't like Katherine as much as other longer names but do Like Kitty
Keziah - Kizzy - New to list but really like it, old testament name
Georgina - Georgie - Warming to this one
Henrietta - Hettie - Not sure if a bit too long and fussy? What's nicer Hettie or Hattie?

Middle name will be Florence which is a family name. Also want to add in my fathers name as a middle name as he has passed away. So would be first name, Florence, my dads male name then surname. Is that weird? I just really want baby to have connection to grandad they won't meet.

I really like Harriet nn Hattie. Harriet Florence (Dad's name) Surname is fine.

Love love love Keziah! I know one who goes by Kezzie. I think it's a fab name, and fairly unusual.

Only like Katherine. Wouldn't give a girl a male name, has it got a female version?

My favourite name here is actually Florence! Does it have to be middle name? I like Katherine but don’t think Kitty is a nice nickname, sorry.
Harriet is nice.

I only like Harriet nn Hattie and Keziah nn Kizzy.
I also like Florence nn Florrie/Flo as a first name.
I also like Pandora nn Panda, Elizabeth/Persephone nn Effy and Saffron nn Saffy.

Not sure how much a girl would thank you for having a male name as a middle name though. Is there a feminine version or is it unisex?
