Sister for Birdy

110 replies

reallynotthat · 26/02/2025 18:50

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?

I like the ideas on your list OP, with the exception of Juniper. It seems to be very faddy/trendy and, to my mind, very different to Beatrix.

Also loving the suggestions of:
Dorothy / Dottie
Florence / Flossie
Jemima / Mimi
Cecily / Cece

Marigold and Beatrix are gorgeous together

I know a Pixie, not short for anything but could be short for Penelope

Phillipa - Pippa or Pippi
Alexandra - Lexie

Ps. Goldie is definitely a dog. Not too fond of Nessie either, for obvious reasons.

I know an Aggie called Agnes. It's a v posh nickname though like Tiggy and Binky which I think are used for Alexandra - and not to everyone's taste of course! I'm not fussed on Aggie.

Taggie for Agatha?

I love Goldie, Winnie, and Agnes.

I'd like to suggest Nessa instead of Nessie though, because Nessie is the Monster and also rhymes with 'messy'. Nessa is a real (Irish) name too.

I can't see the attraction of Marnie at all.

Beatrix nn Birdie is lovely btw - but surely with a Birdie her sister has to be Kitty? 🤣(whether Christabel, Felicity, Kristen, Catrin, Claudia or Tabitha on the BC)

ETA:Of your choices, I like Winona the most (although I do automatically follow Winnie with “the Pooh” in my head). Penelope nn Penny would be my 2nd choice - less keen on the full name but Penny sounds so pretty.
