I already have Ellie (Eleanor) and Tabby (Tabetha) and am going to have another girl in just over 6 weeks time.

I'd like to have a similar sort of name again (ie long that can be shortened in a couple of different ways) but can't think of any that I like, any good ideas?

We have the same issue with Jessica (Cameron - Ulrikakakaka)

We have a Tilly (obviously) and we think this one would have been Tabitha or Florence if it were a girl. I love Flossie/Florrie

Jessica and Beatrice would both be on my list if they didn't sound so bad with our surname (Curtis, so Jessica sounds a bit Ulrikakakakaka, and Beatrice Curtis just sounds silly!). The others are nice, but nothing's really jumping out at me. Hmmmmmmm.

My son had a Hettie (Henrietta) and a Frankie (Francesca) at his nursery and I always liked both of those. Or there's Margaret (classic and due a comeback IMHO!), which has a zillion short forms - Meg, Maggie, Peggy to name but a few...

Oh I ought to mention that Ellie's middle name is May and Tabby's is Katy, so that rules out Kitty really. I did think of Matilda and it's a possibility apart from the fact that DH isn't that keen and having a Tabby and a Tilly sounds a bit like I have cats rather than children!
