Sibling to Buffy and Teddy...

[LilyRosePoppy]

Help! Do you have any ideas? :)

I'm so unsure! :( can't think of anything...

Victoria nn Torie or Vicky

What do you think, any names you like?

Seriously OP you should have told us their real names first. Of course everyone will reply with 'Spike' as a sibling name for Buffy!
As for names to go with Edward and Elizabeth, I suggest looking at the back of a Thomas the Tank Engine book and choosing a name there (Henry, Toby, Molly etc; Cranky or Diesel maybe not so much) as they tend to be the traditional and ubiquitous style like your other two.

Spike is ace

Sansa, they go by Buffy and Teddy though, I'd have assumed people realised that.

Elizabeth, Edward and Samuel/Samantha nn buffy, Teddy and Sammy.

By the way , I love Teddy as a nickname, my Edward is also a Teddy. X

Araminta, nn Minty.

Cecilia nn Ceecee.

Margaret nn Peggy or Molly.

Robert nn Bobby

Jolyon or Jonathan nn Jojo.

William nn Billy (or Spike!).

Ok, so Elizabeth, Edward and William the Bloody
Buffy, Teddy and Spike.

Perfect.

"I'd use buffy for real if I could"

I'd use Spike if I could. Great name.

OP - Jonathan/Jonty

Sansa, they go by Buffy and Teddy though, I'd have assumed people realised that.

Why?

I was going to suggest Jonty. I know siblings called Jonty and Ted

I've never heard of Elizabeth shortened to Buffy. Liz/Lizzy/Eliza/Beth/Ellie yes, Buffy no.

And I always though Teddy was short for Theodore, Eddy short for Edward.

LilyRose - I do think though that for naming purposes, the 'go-by' names are less relevant than the actual names, as the given names are more telling of your naming style.
Plus the fact that Teddy can be short for all sorts of names, or none at all (i.e. Teddy might be the name on the birth certificate) and there's a big difference in naming style there.

My three all have very similar names (as in, the same style) but all go by nicknames, which a) don't go so well together and b) in one case is completely unrelated to the given name.

You've had some good suggestions op. people aren't being horrid, they're just mucking about - I think you'd have got less jokey responses if you'd told us that Buffy and Teddy were nicknames not the names on their birth certificates.

I've NEVER heard Buffy as a nickname for anything. Or a real name.

OP, are you looking for a match with Elizabeth and Edward or a match with Buffy and Teddy?

Would Eleanor and Nell fit the bill?

I'd have assumed people realised that.

Why?

I can't believe you have posted that your dc are called Buffy and Teddy, then been shocked when someone suggested Spike. It's of the same...er... how shall we say ... genre.

If your dc are called Elizabeth and Edward, then why not say that, and people can suggest similar, traditional names. If you come on here with what you did though, people are then going to suggest similar names to what you have started with.

Can't understand why that makes you cross.

Penelope-Penny
Cassie
Florence-Flo/Florrie

Casper
Henry
Percy

Don't listen to nasty people on here, any name that's not yawn central gets slated. It's lovely to hear some different names

I know Buffy as a nickname for Elizabeth. It's well known, I thought.

OP, if you ignore the jokes related to the Buffy/Angel TV series, you've had some nice suggestions. I like Jonathan with nn of Jonty as it fits your "classic names" with interesting nicknames.

P.s. My daughter is Elizabeth too! Lovely name

Sebastian - Seb
Christopher - Kit
Margaret - Maggie
Frederick - Freddy
Gabriel - Gabe
Charlotte - Lottie
Isabella - Izzy

My middle name is Elizabeth. It's also my mothers first name. Never heard of Buffy. Ridiculous nn frankly.

I'd go with another E name with a -y ending NN.

I'd have to go with Giles, you could always shorten it to Gil.

They're being nasty by calling it ridiculous, etc. I didn't ask for opinions on their names. My daughter is happy with her name, so you lot can f off, 'frankly'.

Thank you for the nice suggestions.

How about Willow nn Willie?

I'm a massive fan of the Buffy tv show and I never knew up until very recently that it was a nickname for Elizabeth. I would have 100% assumed that your DD was named Buffy as her given name, after the TV show. Equally, many children are called Teddy as a given name. Elizabeth and Edward (known as Buffy and Teddy) would have been a much clearer way of asking for similar names.

What about Jennifer?
