Hmmmmmmm doesn't sound right to my ears. Shouldn't Tillie be short for Matilda? If she is called Natalie people will shorten it to Nat.

dd1 is called Natalie.

We shorten her name to Tilly and she loves it. Her friends, however, all call her Nat.

We have a Natalie and she gets called Nat or Nats or NatNat! I can see how Tillie might work but it's not the natural shortening, IYSWIM.

oh yeah, mine gets Nats and NatNat as well - and NatBat, the Natster and the Great Natsby.

It's a fab name for playing with, if you like lots of silly nicknames from it now I think about it...

Tally nn?

I don't know how you can choose a nn

Rubena · 17/07/2010 08:44

she'll get Nat - there's one in my family and no matter how hard mum tries, she's still Nat to everyone

I like the name, as long as people pronounce the T... where I live she would be called
Naa-aleee.

sungirltan · 17/07/2010 09:16

i like it

I like the name Natalie and the nn Tillie.

But you will have to live with other people shortening it to Nat!
