Who's good at nicknames? I need one for my dd. Please help

[MrsRetchingBloodAndGuts]

7week old dd is called Kaiya, dp named her, I don't like it and was planning on using a nn but for the first time ever nothings come to me!

Dd1 has loads even though I like and use her real name also, so why can't I find one for dd2? They usually come so naturally to me, I'm one of those people who shorten everyones name!

I should have put this in chat really shouldn't I? More traffic.... Ah well we're here now.

kai?

my dds get called chicken and pudding -probably need to rethink those lol

Kiki? Kay?

Ya-ya?

Is it k-ay-ya or k-ai-ya?

My dd gets called lolly, dink, chicken, bean, munchkin, dot, button, lo's, dolly.

Her names lola :)

Ooh, Kiki's nice.

Ahh, I should ave said, I need mor than one syllable for it to work for me!

Thank you anyway :)

Dd1 gets called noonoo or pumpkin

I like yours btw workshy :)

supergirl. that's what i use. now she is three she even calls herself supergirl occasionally!

something will come, it will. i never intended nicknames for my dcs but they have just evolved naturally as i got used to referring to my dcs.

what does dc1 call her? my ds1 couldn't pronounce my cousin's name when small and called her yawyah. it stuck and now all her family call her that and all the new dcs call her that too.

Oooh loads of replies! I like Kiki too actually.

I love lolly jj, I wanted to call her Leila and would have nn her lolly!

oh no you will be in the daily mail as having a child who doesn't know their own name.

if you dont like ti change it.

my dcs nicknames are

ds1 ; bdee, bumblebee, birdie
ds2; ori, odee, tinytot

supergirl!

Sorry, pronounced kaiya as in eye-ah dd1 just says her whole name, she's 6 so has no problems with pronounciation. Boring child

leila is beutiful. couldn't you just call her that?

beautiful

Can't change it custardo, her dad loves it and is so proud of his naming ability! I don't hate it I just don't love it and had counted on having a nn.

Oh booy, don't tempt me!

Tbf she doesn't actually look like a Leila. I must admit her name suits her.

i would. i'm pig headed like that

I like kai:)
My youngest dd is known as egg or "the egg" For two reasons firstly her name is emily that my okder daughter coukdnt say and used to say eggily and also in honour of the fact that she is possibly the only person ever to have choked on soft scrambled egg to the point of actually needing rushing to hospital in an ambulance. possibly a very odd reason for nickname but just reinfornced the earlier reason of daughter not saying plus relief that the scrambled egg did not win tbh though as they get older we kind of lose the nicknames and end uo with shortened versions of their names, calling a 1 year old egg is fine calling a 13 year old is a bti odd.

I like Kiki too. Or Kaila (but would be in danger of ending up as kayleigh)

I immediately thought of Kiki when I saw the OP, then I see it's been suggested already. Sorted!

K/Kay/KK
Kitty/Kitten
Kazzy/Kassie
Kizzie
Koo
Kookie

My cousin has just had a kayla!

Poor egg!

I like Kiki, kitten and I love Kookie, I shall try them out tomorrow.

You've all been great, thank you

Go for Kiki!

That is REALLY cool.

Don't worry about the name, really. I have a boring 70s name that I don't like, everyone knows me by the short form that I do like. Now I've named our DD an, errr, interesting name - which I do love, but can almost certainly predict that she won't... but it has a lovely, practical, pretty, easy shortening which is what she is known by.

Call her Kiki. And before long you'll find that she'll be Keeks, Keekins, Kikidee, Kikkles, Kikliboo, Kee-bee, you name it. Her 'nameness' will basically be the Kee sound, which is lovely - interesting, different, versatile. She'll just become that name.

Oh and you name the next one!

I immediately thought Kiki too. Fab nickname. [hsmile]
