What names can be shortened to Tilly?

[fennelennel]

My DH would like to call our DD Tilly, which I think is a nickname, not a proper name. I dont like Hilda, Tilda or Matilda though. Can anyone think of any other girls names that could have Tilly or Till as a nickname?

I wanted Tilly for our daughter and as a last minute panic I thought she needed a proper name so she's Matilda. I wish we'd just called her Tilly since her long name is totally redundant. Clothilde (sp?) is a french name I always thought was pretty.

Ottoline

or Tilney

(knew a woman called this)

You can call her Tilly. I think Tilly is lovely and strong enough for an actual name. You're going to call her Tilly anyway so why confuse things. Can always change the spelling slightly, Tillie, Tilli...

Tilly is also a real name. My name is Tilly and it’s not short for anything. I’ve also met someone else whose name is just Tilly. Just because it more likely to be used as a nickname doesn’t mean it’s only a nickname
