Nickname for Heidi

[GreenAventurine]

What nicknames do your Heidis have?

It doesn't need one.
Adelheid is where Heidi comes from so it is already a nn

It's surely too short a name to need a nickname?

Was going to say Heidi is already a nickname for Adelheid (origin of Adelaide).

Was beaten to it.

A Heidi I know gets called Heids but it's too short really for a nickname

My friend Heidi gets called H.

I call my friend Heidi, Heidi-Hi and have for about 30 years. She seems okay with it 😂😂 (we're both ~40 for context).

I've a friend Heidi, she gets Heid, Hi, and Heidi hoe. The last one might put you off naming a baby it.

Hiya

I’m a Heidi, I used to get Heidi Hi all the time, but people tend not to understand it now.
Most people call me Heidi, one or two call me Heids.

I worked with a Didi, it was years before I knew her name was Heidi.

From personal experience, Heidi doesn’t tend to get shortened at all. Occasionally people try ‘heids’ and get a glare.
more often ‘funny’ men (always men) lengthen it to Heidi hi

I'm a Heidi too - at school friends tried Hidi but it didn't really stick. Tbh it's just to short to shorten much further & doesn't lend itself to nn's.
I too got called Heidi-Hi - mostly by 'funny' older men 🙄 Or asked where my goats were. Doesn't really apply as much any more thankfully.

The only Heidi I know gets called Heids most of the time by friends.
Out of interest (as Heidi is a forerunner on our list) do the Heidi’s who have commented on this thread like their name? I think it’s beautiful but interesting to hear personal experience. I can imagine the ‘Heidi-hi’ thing must have gotten frustrating!

Dee?? Agree that it really doesn't need a nickname though

Don't nicknames just sort of come into being? Both dc have NN but have no resemblance to their actual names.

Heidi is a nick name

Hides/Heids

Heids/Heidster I suppose.

She may very well end up with something completely unrelated...

Good God Heidster? Wtf?

It is somewhat unfortunate. But I would not be surprised to encounter it, no...

I always think this when I see people say x name with y nickname.

Nicknames come into being over a period of time. Both my kids have nicknames nothing to do with their names, one occasionally is called a nickname from her name but its mainly the 1 nickname that no one else would know what their real name was.

The Heidi I know is called Hides. Poor thing.

I called her Heidi as it doesn't have a nickname! I don't really like names that people immediately change. That said she's 'H' now and again.

We tend to go longer with shorter names eg Heidi-pops, Heidi-boo, Heidi-Beidi.

Her little sister calls her DeeDee.

Dee Dee?
