Dovey is in the same ilk as Birdie. There was an amazing woman named Dovey Roundtree. I never forgot her name after reading about her.

My favourites are
Thea
Etta - I don’t like Harriet though, sorry!
Birdie
Clara
Clementine
Ottilie

Love Polly and Suki

Elizabeth is by far my favourite on that list. It's a timeless classic with so many options for shortening. It works at every age as well.

Olive, nn. Olly - like
Thea - boring
Orlie - like
Norie - absolutely not. Don't like the 'nor' sound. Reminds me of nitty Nora.
Harriet-Etta - love Harriet. Absolutely not together though, way too many Ts going on. Imagine shouting HARRIETETTA in the park.
Sylvie - no, old.
Cora - reminds me of Cora from eastenders. Don't like the cor / nor sounds
Effie short for Elizabeth - love
Posey - absolutely not. Sounds a bit limp.
Polly - love
Birdie - no
Clara - like
Beatrix, nn. Trixie/Bixie - average, common
Emma - timeless classic
Emmeline - LOVE nn Emmie for short
Suki - is your child a cat? Or a Suzuki swift?
Clementine - absolutely not. Clammy is a hideous nn and reminds me of clammy. Also limp.
Indie/India - love both

Clemmy is a hideous nn should I say!

Olive, nn. Olly - not keen
Thea - too many Theos.
Orlie - like Orly Airport?
Norie - sounds like a seaweed
Harriet-Etta - Harriet ate a what?
Sylvie - Krin
Cora - napple
Effie short for Elizabeth - effin' eck
Posey - Posy is ok short for Primrose
Polly - like it a lot
Birdie - better than Bogey I suppose
Clara - at least it's a name but I don't like it
Beatrix, nn. Trixie/Bixie - Bixie is awful.
Emma - like it a lot
Emmeline - ok
Suki - ok
Clementine - satsuma. Clemmie is phlegmy and clammy
Indie/India - no.
Ottilie - don't like it

Olive, nn. Olly - horrible. The olive is not an evocative or beautiful thing.

Thea - old lady.

Orlie - not a name.

Norie - Japanese seaweed

Harriet-Etta - try-hard.

Sylvie - nice.

Cora - nice.

Effie short for Elizabeth - no. Effie isn't short for Elizabeth as there's no "f" sound in the name.

Posey - twee.

Polly - ok.

Birdie - vile.

Clara - nice.

Beatrix - nice but Bixie is stupid.

Emma - nice but plain.

Emmeline - lovely.

Suki - Siamese cat.

Clementine - disgusting. "Clem" sounds like slang for vaginal discharge.

Indie/India - colonial.

Ottilie - try-hard/Zoella.

I like Polly & Harriet from your list.

Otillie is an awful name.

Olive, nn. Olly, Orlie, Norie, Harriet, Birdie, Beatrix, Suki, Ottalie.not keen, sorry
Thea, Elizabeth, Posey, Polly, Emma, Clementine- ok

Orly spelt this way is very much a name. It's my middle name and is a common Hebrew name meaning 'my light'.

Olive, nn. Olly - you can't control the nick name may be liv. I like it.
Thea - ok
Orlie - no
Norie - seaweed
Harriet-Etta - no. Harriet is nice though
Sylvie - no
Cora - apple
Effie short for Elizabeth - no again Elizabeth is likely to be liz or lizzy.
Posey - absolutely not
Polly - parrot
Birdie - birdie cheep cheep
Clara - quite nice
Beatrix, nn. Trixie/Bixie - again could be bea. Like it though
Emma - beautiful underrated classic.
Emmeline - no
Suki - no
Clementine - fruit
Indie/India - no hate country names
Ottilie - really "now"

Olive, nn. Olly - only in a salad
Thea - meh and overdone.
Orlie - only short for Orla. Oona is nicer
Norie - no. But if you do then as short for Norah
Harriet-Etta - ok
Sylvie - pretty but overdone
Cora - nice
Effie short for Elizabeth - very nice
Posey - if short for Rose etc - Posy better
Polly - if short for Mary / Marianne etc
Birdie -only as short for Bridget - these names don’t work for grown ups as full names
Clara - nice, bit overdone
Beatrix, nn. Trixie/Bixie - no
Emma - lovely classic
Emmeline - nice
Suki - nice if short for Susannah
Clementine - ok, bit fluffy
Indie/India - no - the first is try hard cool the latter is colonial
Ottilie - no too frilly and faddy

I’d go for Suki short for Susannah or otherwise Cora

Elizabeths are rarely Liz these days - Eliza, Elsie, Bess, Beth, Buffy.. I think Effie would fit in fine - and if you called her that from the off it probably would get used

I really like Olive, Ottlilie with Ottie for short is pretty cool, Polly is nice too.

what about:

Edie
Margot
Nell
Nola
Penelope
Marley
Leni

I went with Edie for my little one but it was the hardest decision EVER!

I love Thea & Cora. That was our 2 names for our little girl (went with Thea when she was born) everyone always says what a pretty name it is ☺️

love polly
