Old Lady Names with Cutesy Nicknames?

[mh_ccl]

Love all the old lady names
Dd is Florence but gets Flo most of the time. Also my niece is Constance nn Connie

For this one I love
Beatrice nn Bea
Eleanor nn Nora
Vivienne don't like nn Viv
Iris to short for a nickname!

We just had our Eleanor (Nora) 2 days ago! Still can't agree on the middle name, though.

That's the only thing we do know, whether boy or girl we have the middle names just not first!! For a girl it will be Ann, (not sure which looks prettier, Ann or Anne)

I love old fashioned, southern sounding names. I'm trying to find one that I love the full version of as well as the nickname!

Also, does the nn Minnie work for full name Margaret?

I'm a Margaret and have never heard of minnie... Most friends call me Mags. I've heard maggie, peggy, peg, meg just never minnie.. I've ALWAYS hated my name and would have rather anything else. :-/

Violet
Iris nn Rissie

My Nan's name was Iris and all her life she was known as Rick/Rickie- not many people knew her real name was Iris, because when she was little her sister used to mispronounce the nn Riss/Rissie, so the nn stuck

I love Cordelia (Cory, Della, Delia) and Cornelia (Nelle, Nellie, Cory).

I also really like Philippa/Pip/Pippa.
