The OP discounted Tegan back in 2008. I suppose she might have come round to it now though.

Tegwen?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/02/2017 21:43

I second Tegan.

Grannyben · 02/02/2017 21:35

Yes, tiggy legge-bourke was called Alexandra

Sixkidstoomany · 02/02/2017 21:21

My Tiggy is a Tegan (pronounced Teegun).

Have I missed some dictat from on high that demands everyone gives their daughters cats' names? These name threads are shocking at the moment!

Tidey · 07/05/2010 15:12

Tigonometry

mathanxiety · 07/05/2010 15:08

I think Tiggy L-B was Alexandra.

whywhywhydelilah · 07/05/2010 09:29

Talita?

Tamara?

My name is Victoria but everyone calls me Tig (Tiggy when younger). My parents wanted to call me Tor but started with Tiggytor and ended up dropping the Tor bit.

How suprising Tiggiwinkle

Tiggiwinkle · 10/12/2008 22:10

This thread caught my eye!

theramones · 10/12/2008 22:06

Or you could be really ironic and call her Lesley and shorten it to Tiggy! (Twiggy's real name is Lesley Hornby)

theramones · 10/12/2008 22:03

I work with an Elizabeth called Tiggy

salvadory · 10/12/2008 21:59

I once flat shared with a Tiggy but her real name was Tigridia, she was very English Rose and it really suited her.

Gosh no newgirl.
I'd have to have a proper name with Tiggy as a nickname.

i think its ok to go straight for tiggy if that's what you like? sounds lovely

TsarChasm · 26/11/2008 12:06

I didn't realise tiggy was short for Antigone. Hmm Mrs Antigone-Winkle?

seeker · 26/11/2008 12:04

Agatha.

PLEASE don't call the poor child Antigone!

what was that royal woman whose cute little nursery nickname ended up being plastered over the Daily Express really called? Alexandra?

dinny · 26/11/2008 11:11

just make it the nickname regardless of the name? my dd's nickname is Minnow, totally unrelated to her real name (Tabitha)
