Help us name our dd2..wanting a pretty old fashioned unusual name that has a cute nn.

[loubuch09]

Please help...I am nearing last weeks with no name picked out....
Lots of my name choices has not got hubbyss approval.
Not a fan of anything too popular generally.
Our daughter is Kathleen known as Kitty and is a famiky name have found nothing that I like anywhere near as much.
Names that have not had hubbys approval are Florence, Saskia (sassy) Ada,Aurora mm Rory. Beatrix...
Things we are considering..Bonnie (Bea) for short, Penelope (worried too popular?nn Penny), Truly nn Tru, Elizabeth n Liza, Martha (family name like mimi as nn but maybe too similar to Kitty/Kit) love Martha May but apparently that's the griches gf name!? What is your fave/ opinions...any other suggestions?
Tia

Oh LOVE Truly! That's awesome and certainly unusual. I would pick Bonnie nn Bea though as I like both and think they're both not popular IYSWIM.

Cecelia - Cece
Marina - Marnie
Florence - Florrie/Flossie/Flo
Imogen - Imi/Mimi
Isadora - Izzy/Dora

Elizabeth is very versatile - Eliza, Lizzie, Liza, Ellie, Libby, Betty, Beth, Buffy

Francesca - Frankie//Fran/Chessie
Alexandra - Alex, Allie, Lexi, Sandy, Sashsa, Zandra

Susannah - Susie
Josephine- Josie

Love Kitty btw.

Clemency

Nice list . Think we're also going for Bonnie but hadn't thought of Bea as a nn...

Georgina (Georgie)
Imogen (Immy, Mimi)
My two top choices for a potential future DD

Belinda (Belle)
Miranda (Miri)
Miriam (ditto)
Philippa (Pippa)
Phoebe (Fi)
Vivienne (Vi, Viv))
Eleanora (Elle, Ella)
Cassandra (Cassie)

Frances

I love Beatrix shortened to Trixie.

Iris - ReeRee?
Agatha - Taggie / Aggie
Rosalie - Rosie
Eloise - Lo
Clementine - Clemmie (too much like clammy?)
Verity - Rita??
Harriet - Hatty

There are some lovely names here, I particularly like 'Saskia' because I know a really kick-ass Saskia and it always seems a grown up woman's name not a girly one.

The only thing I would say is that you might like the nickname, but your child might. I have a dd2 who has just requested I don't use her shortened/pet name any more! I love it so much and it's affectionate to me, but it is her decision. So pick a long name you like and then you have choices.

And- some of these nicknames aren't that great- Hatty? Rita? I prefer the long versions.

Felicity (Fliss)
Henrietta (Etta)
Harriet (Hetty)

My dd2 is Rosalind which gets shortened to Rozzi. I think that works rather well

Constance- Connie
Elodie

I was going to suggest Kathleen/Kitty when I read the start of the post!

Elizabeth/Libby
Beatrice/Bea
Annabel/Annie
Phillipa/Pippa

Edith - Edie
Ephigenia - Effie
Charlotte - Lottie

Louisa/Lulu
Josephine/Josie, Jojo

I adore Winnifred for a little girl, could be shorted to Winnie, Freddie, or Freda.

Also Jemima shortened to Mima or Mimi.

Rosina rosanna or similar, nn Rosie

Cornelia - Nellie

Lucille, Lucie, lulu

Margaret? You can have Meg, meggie, Maggie, Maisie and of course marge

Araminta - Minty

Euphemia- Effie

Matilda, shortened to Tilly. I know it's quite popular now, but I think it's adorable.

Another vote for Clemency - Clemmie
