DD is called Isabella and although I love the name it's not necessarily one I'd have chosen, had things been different. I can explain if you want, but it's a bit of a long story.
I always just call her by her full name, the length doesn't bother me and fortunately it's nowhere near as common where I am as it is in the UK.
Anyway, DC2 is on the way and will probably end up with a longish name too (for balance). One full time long form I can cope with. Two seems, well, a bit poncey TBH
Neither DP or I like
Isabel
Izzy
Bel
Bella
We disagree on
Isa (pronounced Ee-sa) - 'tis very common here, DP thinks that's fine but I don't.
Ella - I like it, DP doesn't.
She's nearly one and no hint of a nickname has ever been detected. So, help what short of creative shortning could we use?
