Sister for Birdy

[reallynotthat]

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?

Marigold/Goldie is fabulous 🤩

Persephone can also be Peggy.

Of your list I love Juniper and Penelope. I know a little Penelope known as Nelly.

PPs suggestions I love are Genevieve (Ginny), Aurora (Rory), Matilda (Matty or Tilly) and Katherine (Kitty).

Piper - Pip, Pippi

I know an Amandine who's Beanie and a Tabitha who's Tatty/Tabby

Josephine or Seraphine/a as Fifi

Birdie and Goldie is one helluva "sib set"

I love Tabitha as a name but just left alone.
Tatty or Tabby (means a cigarette dmend where I live 😪

But OP is clearly a nickname person and, by the sounds of it, a pretty 'out there' nickname person. Some families are.

Tuppence- Pen/Penny

This. Siblings can be very different. The next one might hate having a nickname like that so maybe don’t pick the name on the assumption of it being made into a nickname.

Yes I understand that.

I've never understood the MN obsession with "nicknames". Probably because it's not really a thing here.

I’d look at the full name first and consider nn’s second. Imo names that are a similar style to Beatrix:

Jemima (Jem/Mimi?)
Tabitha (Kit/Kitty/Tibby?)
Juliet (Jet/Letty/Gigi?)
Romola/Romilly (Romy?)
Josephine (Effie/Gigi?)
Claudia (Kit/Kitty/Aude?)
Felicity (Flick/Fliss/Fifi?)
Verity (Vee/Vivi?)
Jessamine (Jess/Mina?)

Josephine / Posy
Margaret / Pearlie
Susannah / Sukie
Sybil / Billie
Wilhelmina / Willa, Billie, Minnie
Imogene / Genie
Henrietta / Hedda, Etta, Hettie
Hazel / Zelie
Rebekah / Rivka

Juniper - Junie
Marigold - Goldie
Penelope - Penny
Winona - Winnie
Love Winona - Winnie and Marigold - Goldie
