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

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?!

custardbear · 20/08/2021 04:56

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.
