I come from a nickname family. We all have multiple nicknames and when discussing names for future babies, we immediately go to what the nicknames could be.
So, when it came time to name our own kids, you bet we were talking about all possible nicknames!
Of course, sometimes you’ll plan for one nickname, only to have another one come out of nowhere and stick.
That’s what happened with our daughter. We had a nickname picked out, but my son ended up shortening her name into something else and now that’s the name even she prefers!
And, truth to be told, we like it better, too.
So, let’s take a look at the cutest girl name and nickname combinations!
