I adore
Charlotte but without a nickname - it is only two syllables after all and so doesn't need to have a nickname...I kinda like Lott though. I detest
Charley - the spelling, the masculinity...Charlie is a boys name only for me.
Isabella - I much prefer
Bella. It is elegant, sophisticated and kinda quirky. However, I like
Izzy as a nn for
Israel (m).
Matilda - I prefer
Tilly but like
Matilda by itself as well. It is my favourite name.
Beatrix -
Trixie is very cool and quirky. I adore it but
Bea is also pretty spunky.
Eleanor -
Nora is very elegant. Lovely.
Emmeline -
Emma cheapens the elegance and quality of
Emmeline for me.
Emmy is very cool as an occasional nn though.
