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

Bit like Dolly isn't a nickname for Delilah either - it's a shortening for Dorothy

Call her Delilah!

I love Della I know you didn’t ask though

BlueMerchant · 11/04/2019 11:10

Has to be DeeDee if that's what's she's asked for really.

Probably doesn't help but my Delilah has ended up with the nickname potato since birth.

My niece is a Delilah she goes by lilah most of the time.

LittleMissMummaBear · 17/04/2019 14:56

I knew a Delilah that went only by Lila. But if you use the nn then honestly I much prefer just full name Lila. Delilah is a stunning name, I think nicknames will just come naturally when you use her name around the house! good luck xx

Lilah

MumUnderTheMoon · 17/04/2019 23:17

Della

NutMeghan · 18/04/2019 01:51

Deedee

ComedicCat · 18/04/2019 01:54

I like Lilah

Tavannach · 18/04/2019 02:00

DeeDee. The owner of the name has the casting vote.

tisonlymeagain · 18/04/2019 11:28

My DD has an easily nicknamed-name. I call her one thing at home and she chooses to be something else at school, but I never use it as it's not 'her' and she prefers her family nickname to kept separate!

bridgetreilly · 18/04/2019 21:56

The thing about nicknames is you can have lots! She can be Lylee and Deedee. And also Della and Delgirl and Lilah and Lala and Po and anything else you or she can imagine. It doesn't have to be the same one forever or even one at a time.

Probably doesn't help but my Delilah has ended up with the nickname potato since birth.

Hahahahahaha!!!

My Delilah, aged 5.5 gets Lilah or just her full name from DH and I.
DS sometimes calls her Lyle and DD1 calls her Lils.
It wouldn't have occured to me to use Dolly but I suppose it is a sweet NN.
