Girls names that cannot be shortened/nicknamed

[SqidgeBum]

I am looking for a list of girls names that wouldn't normally be shortened or automatically have a nickname. I know some people will just make up a nickname for her, but I just want her to be called what we name her as much as possible.

We already have a girl, Heather, so we like slightly older names, classic, not massively popular (so no top 10 names) or too modern.

Sorry. I know I am asking for a lot. DH says I am too fussy.

Joy
Maude
Anna
Ruth

Heather and Daisy
Heather and Mary
Heather and Ester
Heather and Sue

Rita
Maeve
Cara
Mea
Jill
Fleur
Nia

Felicity
Claudia
Clarrisa

May (although as pp says: short names get lengthened, the child called May in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to stop the neighbours shortening it just gets called Mayie)

Ann
Sue
Oak
Leigh
Beau

Daisy
Jean
Ivy

Joan
Claire
Erica
Niamh
Sadhbh (just kidding - probably not your style - but I bet you can't shorten it)

Erin
Mary
Wendy
Linda
Lisa

Sarah
Jane
Clare
Naomi

Plenty of those suggested can be shortened though!

Lucy - Luce
Felicity - Fliss
Claudia - Claud

Many people always look to shorten names even when it's not invited unfortunately.

One of my daughters is called Niamh which can't be shortened, however her name gets lengthened instead, ie niamhy so anything can end up with a nickname. I like Amy, but somebody could end up calling her ames, I went to school with a Heath who was known as Heth. If you don't want a named shortened, tell people

I tried doing that. DD shortened her name as a toddler and her best friend came up with a diminutive too.

Choose a name thats already a diminutive like Ellie. Probably not what you want though!

Both my sons have names very rarely changed, but my dad still has pet names for them, he cant help himself!

Gayle

Niamh

Kate
Erin
Laura
Rose (well it could be Rosie I suppose)
Summer
Sienna
Lilah
Annie
Eden

You'd be better off just picking a name you like and being firm about that version. People will find the strangest things to make a nickname from.

Hazel
Esther
Nina

Wow. So many names! There are quite a few I like too (i am a teacher so finding a name I dont have negative associations with is difficult). I will have to suggest them to DH tonight. In typical dh fashion he will probably hate them all (ex teacher. Same issue). Naming a child is a big problem for us haha.

My friend's mum was called Enid, because her mother thought it couldn't be shortened, and she ended up being known as Nid. So be warned 😂

My dd, Iris, has yet to have her name shortened or any name based nickname!

Sorry, I meant I went to school with a Heather known as Heth 🤦🏻‍♀️😂
