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?

But Nessa is...

Beryl berry
Matilda Tilly
Penelope penny

I love Marnie. Could be short for Hermione too.

I like Marigold too, but prefer Merry as a nickname, not Goldie.

Matilda - Tilly
Josephine - Josie

Dixie?

You can't do Kitty, she may predate on her sister!

I like Dixie, what could it be short for?

Do like Katerina ( a family name ) and nn Kitty.
Agree I can't have a Kitty and a Birdy though

I love it too. I think it could just be Dixie! Another option is Dotty or Dolly, which should be short for Dorothy or Dorothea (and then when older she also has the option of Thea as a nickname too).

Beatrix, Birdie and

Quentin - Queenie
Elizabeth - Queenie
Katherine - Kitty
Catherine - Cat
Rosemary - Bloom, Bud
Winsome - Win
Florence - Floss
Dorothy - Dottie
Maud - Maudie
Louisa - Lulu
Jane - Janey
Joanna - Jojo
Caroline - Cazzie
Sibyl - Sibby
Harriet - Harts, Hatty
Victoria - Vico,
Julia - Jules
Mary - Mares, Maisie
Thomasina - Tommi
Dimity - Dimsim, Dixie
Richelle - Dixie (Richard - Dick)
Olivia - Owl
Christine - Chrissy
Polly - Polly
Pomeline - Polly
Margaret - Megg, Pearl, Daisy, Peggy
Elinor - Elle
Leonor - Lion, Leo
Francesca - Cheskie
Agatha - Aggie
Gisele - Gesso
Edna Everage - Possum

Peggy - Margaret

Katherine nn Kitty would be so sweet with a Birdy! Birdy and Kitty!

Otherwise, something cute and fifties-sounding would be ideal - Roberta/Bobbie; Daphne/Daffy; Belinda/Lindie; Maud/Maudie - and so on.

It has to be Katherine nn kittie

Oh I so love a creative naming thread, so fun.

Birdie is GREAT! Bit disappointed it isn't her birth cert name!

Ok, so Beatrice nn Birdie. I'd want to match both Beatrice and Birdie for DD2.

Delila nn Dolly or Dixie
Tabitha nn Tabby/Tabs
Genevieve nn Genie (please pick this!!!!!)
Katerina nn Kit/Kitty
Jasmine nn Jazz
Jacqueline nn Jax
Jemima or Jessamine nn Jem
Roxana nn Roo

And here is my winning suggestion:
Zephora - it means beautiful bird/bird of beauty. Zephora nn Zip
Can be spelled Zipporah

Obviously Birdie wants her sister to be Kitty Tabby also works

I love Dixie and Genie but don't love the proper names.

How about Genevie instead of Genevieve? It's a variation, and nicer I think.

I have a Tabitha, who always goes by Tabby. She has always said her name is Tabby, from as soon as she could talk, and it has stuck as "her name" all through school and everywhere else she goes. She's absolutely next level obsessed with cats too, which makes it even better 🤣. It goes well with Birdie!

Love Juniper - Junie!
