What could 'Dilly' be short for?

[Astrophe]

I met a little girl called Dilly a few years ago, and always thought it was sweet.

Delia? Or something else?

Delilah?

Dilys

The Dilly I know is a man named Dylwen (sp?)

He hates his full name so is always Dilly or Dill

As he never uses it I don't know how to spell it

My my my Delilah!

I get nicknamed Dilly, from Philly it just evolved.

Dilys/Dyllis or Dillon/Dyllon

Madeleine

hmmm, ok, not keen on those. Madeline - hadn't thought of that. Any more creative ones?

Matilda?

But Dilly is fine just as Dilly.

Daffodil?

Dilly-Daydream?

Delores
Delphinium
Dilberta

see - Dilly as Dilly is fine!

lol. My poor nameless DD3!

My thought was Dilys too.

I call my son Dylan Dilly sometimes.

Delia

or thinking outside the box....

Lavender - as in Lavender's blue dilly dilly

I know an Adela who gets called Dilly for short.

Just call her Dilly.

It reminds me of a sweet lullaby my mum sings:

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly
Lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly
I shall be queen

I love the name Mildred (I know, I know) and have always said that if we used it, we would use the nn Dilly.

Just call her DILLY!

The Dilly I know is full name valentina.

I've met a little girl called Dylan (not sure on spelling) who was called Dilly.

Cordelia

Adelaide?

Dilly can be a diminutive of Dilys, Dilwen and Daffodil.
