Can you suggest any girls names which in 'long form' are grown up and acceptable for an adult, but have a shortening which is 'cute' Like Loretta / Lottie ...

[Disenchanted]

Except can't use that as its SILs name ... but I do love it.

Corrina or Corrine - Cora or Corin
Daniella - danny or Ella
Dorothy - dot
dolores - Lola
Edith - edie

eleanor - nora

Eugenia - Gene
Emilie - millie

Elodie - Ellie
Abigail - Abbie or Gail
Matilda - Tilly

these are my favourites

Esmerelda - Esme!
Helena - lena
Imogen - gene
Judith - Jude
Julia - Jules

right, I give up for the night

once again, me, kitty, hatrick and VS!!!!!

I'm obsessed I see you mentioned 2 of my names as well dizzy

I may have given one of two suggestions lol

am going to start one and only let the 4 of us in as we all have similar tastes

could you imagine the fall out from that - we'd be ousted!!!

roberta - bobbie or bertie!?

Antonia - Toni

My DD is Aaliyah - Lili

My friend had a little girl 3 weeks ago called Edith but is referred to as Edie. Lovely name meaning 'rich gift'.

Victoria - Vicky or Tori
Veronica - Ronnie
Francesca - Frankie
Vanessa - Nessa
Abigail - Abby
Gabrielle - Gabby or Elle
Andrea - Andy

Ginevra - Ginny or Ginty
Anne-Marie - Annie

i LOVE Libby

Melanie - shortened to Lana

what is Trinny short for? i quite like that

Rosalyn - Rosie
Jacqueline - Jackie
Loretta - id shorten that to Lotta
Victoria - Tori
Rebecca - Becky/Becca
Margaret - Daisy

I had a friend called Trinity - and this was way before The Matrix! - suppose that could be shortened to Trinny, nailpolish

Charlotte - Charlie or Lotti
Martine/Martina - Marty or Tina
Christina - Chris, Chrissy, Tina

Realize that lots of the girls' names I'm suggesting shorten to boys' names, which I know a lot of people are not keen on. Perhaps it's because many of girls' names are derivatives of boys' names to begin with??

Catherine/Katherine - Kitty or Katy or Cat
Matilda - Tilly
Margaret - Maggie, Daisy
Florence - Flossie
Jemima - Gemma
Clarissa - Rissa
Julietta - Etta (dd's friend - I think it's lovely)

My niece is Miranda - we call her Mira.
My other niece is Miriam - known as Miro (but she is Australian!)

Isabella - Bella

Oh, and Megan - Meggie

Oh, and Megan - Meggie

Jennifer - Jenny

Dd is Alexa and we call her Alexa or Lexie.
