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!

Kiki
Koko
Kallie
Kizzy
Kit
Kim
Kia

What's her middle name?

Kiki is supercool! I love it. Also love Kizzie.

When I was a kid we had a programme called Hector's House. There was a frog called Kiki and a cat called Zaza. I mean it was cute and funny and is a good reason to use it, nothing negative.

But aren't the k nn's missing the point when her name is pronounced eye-ahh??

I don't think anything works as a nn from her name, so I'd go with something completely different - middle name/pumpkin/something that grows on its own (such as egg)...

I still don't understand why you let your DH choose a name you don't love.

I think she was just saying that's how it's pronounced, as in, it rhymes with eye-ah, Chipping . It's probably kye-ah.

I love Kiki and was going to suggest that until everyone beat me to it. :) Iya, as in Isla without the L, is pretty too.

Kiki or K sprang immediately to mind too, as it seems most MNetters on this thread share a brain!

She'd probably end up a Kissykins in my household.

yes, sorry chipping, i meant it rhymes with eye ah!
I let dp have his name choice as one of us had to back down and i think he loved the name more than i loved my choices. one of us had to have a name we didnt love and i will defo name the next one.

don't ask me, my DCs are called Troll and Bob. [hgrin]

NN's just happen IME!

No idea sorry

but congratulations !

Kiki was my first thought too - love it. :)

Ooh yes! Def. go for Kiki, it was my nickname growing up.

It's slang for baby in Brazilian :)

(may have outed myself a bit there)

I know theyr supposed to just happen and they usually do but the one time I really want one to 'happen' it just hasn't!

*they're

Kay, kiki, or the wean.
