SheisMammyof2 · 08/04/2019 22:01

Sorry just realised you weren't looking for more Blush
I'd pick Lilah from your list.

Hollowvictory · 08/04/2019 22:02

Lilah
Or Deli - Counter

WatchingTheWheels85 · 08/04/2019 22:02

From the list Dolly, but Dilly is very sweet.

PippilottaLongstocking · 08/04/2019 22:03

Dolly or Lilah

AhhhHereItGoes · 08/04/2019 22:10

Lilah
Dee

FenellaMaxwell · 08/04/2019 22:12

The one I know is known as Della

Tiramisu1 · 08/04/2019 23:03

Why are you planning her nickname? Nicknames evolve naturally imo. I like Delilah as it is!

Shadow1234 · 09/04/2019 17:01

Dee

bloatedbird · 09/04/2019 17:15

Dolly or Dee Dee that's what we call our Delilah

Lilah or Della

mummymonica · 09/04/2019 20:56

Delilah and dolly are both on my list for my baby girl! So I'd pick dolly 😍

TatianaLarina · 09/04/2019 22:05

Lilah

Nicknames just happen. Planning one is a bit strange imo

DramaAlpaca · 09/04/2019 22:28

Like a pp says, nicknames just happen.

If it was me, I think I'd be inclined to use Dolly or Dilly.

MyKingdomForBrie · 09/04/2019 22:28

Dilly. But I agree you can't plan it. I thought I knew what my ds nickname would be but I call him something totally different!

Pinkarsedfly · 09/04/2019 22:32

I have a dog called Delilah, and she gets DeeDee, Dee or Deedledee

My daughter is 4. I wanted to know your thoughts as I have been calling her lylee but today she has said deedee

Lylee is not a nn for delilah it's a completely different name.

nocluenoidea · 11/04/2019 06:28

Lila- but if a nn is that contrived then why not just call her Lila?

WanderingTrolley1 · 11/04/2019 06:33

Dee

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/04/2019 06:40

Lilah. But if she wants Deedee you don’t have any choice!

Heulog · 11/04/2019 06:44

Lilo (love lilo & stitch and would think it awfully cute).
My ds2's nickname has no relevance to his actual name though.

AuntieStella · 11/04/2019 06:46

YY?

But if your DD actually wants to be called DD, then I think you'll find yourself using it. But you couid stick with your choice - I know a fair few people who have a family nn that's quite different to the variant school friends use, that's different again from their usual adult version.
