Sister for Birdy

110 replies

Eldest DD is Beatrix but only uses Birdie.

We want little sister to have an equal /similar name or at least one with a nickname that's on the same page.

Any ideas?

Our neighbour has a Belinda known as Beanie

I think you'd be fine naming a baby anything and using an affectionate nick name like bean, squirt, pip, noodle, pumpkin etc. I wouldn't have thought birdie was a name given based on her name being Beatrix but just a cute family nickname.
