Apart from Antigone what names shorten to Tiggy?

[VictorianSqualor]

Oh and not Tabitha.

Tiggy-Winkle?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Erm - don't know.

Tegan - not exactly a shortening though!

I don't like Tegan.

I was going to say Tabitha...

ummm, don't know any more.

No, me either, but love Tiggy

Theodora?
Tatiana?

Tiger
Mrs Tiggywinkle
Theodora

Traditionally, wasn't Tiggy a shortening for Elizabeth (don't ask me how by the way, I recognise that none of the letters are the same!)

VS, such a good choice of name

I would go for Antigone. Its a classic, old, beautiful name. And it has the option of being shortened to Annie or Tiggy.

How about Athene

Well, I'm not even pregnant so I can't 'go for' anything
But if I was I wouldn't use Antigone, I just know most of the people I know would pronounce it anti-gone plus it wouldn't go well with my other Dcs but I LOVE tiggy as a nn.

Agatha?

Nah.

just make it the nickname regardless of the name? my dd's nickname is Minnow, totally unrelated to her real name (Tabitha)

what was that royal woman whose cute little nursery nickname ended up being plastered over the Daily Express really called? Alexandra?

Agatha.

PLEASE don't call the poor child Antigone!

I didn't realise tiggy was short for Antigone. Hmm Mrs Antigone-Winkle?

i think its ok to go straight for tiggy if that's what you like? sounds lovely

Gosh no newgirl.
I'd have to have a proper name with Tiggy as a nickname.

I used to know a Tycho who went by Tiggy. (a He not a she).

What was prince charles' nanny's real name?

I know an Antonia who shortens her name to Tiggy.

Alexandra.

I once flat shared with a Tiggy but her real name was Tigridia, she was very English Rose and it really suited her.
