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!

Mines a dainty little doll and behaves in an exemplary way in public, but behind closed doors she's a little madam!

we have an Alexandra nn Lexie
Isabella nn Ella but you could have Ellie or Issy
Cordelia is our 3rd DD

We've got an Isobel who is an Izzy, and I like the fact that when she's an oh-so-sophisticated 11 year old she can choose to be a Belle or a Bella if she wants.

Matilda / Tilly

Picante · 27/04/2009 14:21

That's what I liked about William Mij - the fact he can be an oh-so-cool Will when he's older!

Do you shorted Cordelia dizzy?

I have a Madeleine. I have had more than one ignorant person say things like "Don't lose her like that one in Spain [sic]"

I have an Isabella (Bella or Izzy), a Susannah (Suzy) and a Philippa (Pippi). I also like Josephine and Madeleine and would add Rosamund/Rosalind which could be shortened to Rosie.
