Longer unique girls names with nicknames please?

[starsshinebright]

I like:
Madison nn. Maddie
Eloise nn. Ellie
Elodie nn. Ellie/ Edie
Harriet nn. Hattie
Amelie nn. ??

Any other suggestions? No set middle name and surname begins with 'H' and has 1 syllable.

I don't know any children called Madison but do teach at least 1 (sometimes 2 or 3) Eloise, Elodie, Harriet and Amelie. I'm call them all solidly popular but not massively overused.

Unique is hard. I'm going as unusual as I can here:

Mackenzie - Kenzie (my daughter!)

There's some beautiful names on this thread but I'm not keen on all the -ie ending nicknames .
Makes them sound like a litter of puppies

My Amelie is a Mimi

Victoria - Tor, whilst not unique, I would say the short version is, I know of one (my sister).

I have an Emmeline nickname Emmie, obviously I think it’s lovely 🎀

Harriet

Sorry, I thought Harriet was rarer than it is. It is ranked 49th most popular name, in England and Wales.

If you want unusual look for old, regional names from your part of the country.

I wouldn't choose anything that has Ellie/Ella/Edie/Evie as a NN. They are incredibly popular

I suggest:

Margaret - Maggie, Peggie,
Genevieve - Jenny
Marianne - Nan, Mara, Mari
Elizabeth - Elle, Liz, Lizzie, Beth, Betty, Betsey, Eliza

Bonita- Bonnie
Constance - Connie

Henrietta
Henry
Henny
Hens

Rowena - Ro
Vanessa - Ness
Arianna -Ari

Fiona - Fi
Helena - Leni

Thanks a lot for that dig at my daughter’s name Breakfast Much appreciated....

Come on Protecting that’s a bit of a stretch. Breakfast’s post was clearly general not a deliberate dig at you.

She’s stating a preference, not slating your name in particular.

I agree with Breakfast.
This outbreak of cutesy -ie and -y names are going to date this decade's children clearly.
They are the 2000s Sharon and Tracey

Anastasia (Stazi)

Anastasia is lovely, but "Stazi" could be mistaken for "Stasi", which was the East German secret police service . That would certainly fit the "unusual" brief.

Love Christabel...

Not being snarky but genuinely asking why you want to nickname your child? Surely just give them a name you like?

Sherena

If you name your child Margaret or Elizabeth you are then entitled to use absolutely any NN ever. I found this out when working in an old people's home. I'd assumed that their names were the names on their doors - Bunty, Bessie, Meg, Flossie, Liza, Marge, Dot, Lily, plus a few more I can't remember later discovered were either Elizabeth or Margaret.

Names with NN's I like
Ursula - Sula
Winifred - Winnie or Fred
Eleanor - Nell (lots of them though)
Coralie - Cora or Coral

protecting there are a lot on MN who regularly comment negatively on Mackenzie. If you like the name and it's not offensive then don't let it other you.
