This name thing is really irritating me, I go through lists on the internet and they just blur into mush.

So if everyone just posts their 5 favorites here I may actually find something I like!

Could Phoebe Eloise be 'Bel' as a pet name?

dizzydixies · 17/08/2008 20:00

Nell can be used on its own or short for Penelope or Eleanor

Nelle is Ellen backwards, and I think it could be a nn for Annabel, especially if you spell it Annabelle. Somebody likes 'Nelle' I think. Nelle on its own not enough jmo.

Any eureka moments yet Disenchanted?

Dizzy I think Coco would be a lovely nn from Cordelia.

Do you like Russian names like:

Anastacia (Tia for short)
Natalia
Tatiana
Nikita

I love Russian names, I always think that the girls with Russian names are gorgeous!

pgwithnumber3 · 17/08/2008 20:20

My mum LOVES Clementine (nn Clemmy) but I am a bit with it.

Oh I wish someone would do one of these for boys as both DH & I have always struggled with them!

my 5 have been mentioned several times already. For slightly different but how about Jasmine, darcy, Rhiannon, malia, Adriana, Ettienne, Delphine, Montana, Dakota, Delilah, Deanna, Brianna, Payton, Thalia, Marissa etc etc

I have an americanised baby names book if you want any more in that vein!!

Good luck

Arianna is nice and would sit with your surname.

Delilah is awful - think Dingles Emmerdale.

Elodie
Cara
Naomi
