Girls names that aren't traditionally shortened

[HowCanADoorBeAJar]

Hi, I am a newbie here, expecting a girl in June.

DH is quite unfussed about names being shortened and doesn't have strong opinions regarding nicknames but I'm not a fan. His only stipulation is that the name must not be too popular. I agree with this, I don't want our daughter to be one of 5 Lilys in her class. My dislike of names that can be shortened stems from having a name that has a variety of nicknames. Therefore, we don't want names like Samantha or Jessica.

Our tentative list:

Niamh
Mia - would everyone call her Mimi?
Hannah - too popular?
Eden

Any ideas please for a fussy customer?

I understand that any name can be shortened in an affectionate "pet" way i.e. Amy = moo, Laura = lau, lolly, Holly = hols but I think the OP meant names that wouldn't be shortened to names they would actually introduce themselves as and become known as, so she wouldn't go for Alexandra as Alex is a proper name that the DC would introduce themselves as, ditto Catherine = Kate but not so Amy = moo.

You are correct ButterPopcorn.

I understand I cannot control any random nicknames that come my daughter-to-be's way, I would prefer something that cannot obviously be shortened.

I do like some of the names you've suggested. THANK YOU.

I love the name June but I'm worried about the tacky factor. I'm due on the 30th June and as it's my first, I may go overdue and I don't know if baby June born in July is too strange. :)
