I have a Frances who uses Frankie, my fave! I also like Roberta for nn Bobbie

Or Robin nn Bobbie but that's a unisex name anyway!

I’m sure you don’t need to be told OP, but for the love of all that is good and pure, do not call your daughter Garyanne.

thecognoscenti · 20/08/2021 04:22

Garyanne?!

miltonj · 20/08/2021 05:04

🤣 at Garyanne!

Also Jay is not short for Jemimah. Because it's not Jaymimah. It would be Jem, which is unisex.

I admit I would like to know why as well!
I really wanted Harriet for dd but dh didn't like it. She'd have really suited Harry as well because she's a little tomboy 😂

ineedaholidaynow · 20/08/2021 10:47

Can I ask why? Is there disappointment that you are having a girl? Will you mind if your daughter doesn’t want to adopt a male nickname?

TempsPerdu · 20/08/2021 10:49

I’ve always liked the idea of Katherine with nn Kit.

SuzyDaarling · 20/08/2021 10:55

OP is asking for suggestions. She doesn't have to justify why she wants them.
