Ok... can you find me a traditional girl's name of 2/3 syllables that shortens to a name of 2 syllables which ends in an 'ee' sound?

Ok have probably confused you all!

DS1 is called William, but known as Billy.

Would like a girl's name that can be shortened to a name that goes with Billy.

Eg. Charlotte - Lottie
Eleanor - Ellie
Victoria - Vicky (although I don't like this one it's a good example!)

Thanks!

Do you think the stigma attached to Madeleine has gone now? It's one of my favourite names.

OP posts:
Megglevache · 27/04/2009 12:40

It is a beautiful name. What stigma?

Picante · 27/04/2009 12:41

As in Madeleine McCann? Stigma is probably the wrong word.
