Fun. :-)
Zay, Mimi (oh, how I love this nn) and their little sister:
Beatrix (Bix)
Antigone (Tiggy)
Freedom (Edie)
Laurentia / Renata (Wren)
Lorraine (Rain)
Esmeralda (Esme)
Catherine / Catriona / Katharine / Katrina (Cat / Kat)
Tzipporah (Tippy)("ZIP-or-uh")
Patricia (Pax)
Hadassah (Haddie)
Adelaide / Adele / Adeline (Del)
Delphine / Delfina (Del)
Madeline / Madeleine (Del)
Alexandra (Sunny)
Soleil (Sunny)
Elsa / Elizabeth (Elsie)
Penelope (Nell)
Olympia (Lily, Lily-O)
Desideria / Desiree (Desi)("dez-i-DEHR-ee-uh")
Rosemary (Romy)
Violet (Lettie)
Trinidad (Trini)
Caroline (Caro)
Prudence (Prue)
Drusilla (Dru)
Philippa (Pippa, Pippi, Pepper, Piper)
Cassandra (Cassie, Sandy)
Arabella (Belle)
Helen (Lena)
Dulcinea (Dulcie)
Euphemia / Josephine / Persephone / Stephanie (Effie)
Virginia (Ginger)
Timothea (Thea)
Clementine (Cleo)
I could go on and on. If there's a nn that you like, but not the formal name, let us know. We can come up with many more options. I hope one or two of these tickle your fancy. :-)
ETA: Could I ask what your children's formal names are? I assume Zay is from Xavier. But Mimi could be from any number of things: Emilia, Marie, Artemisia, Naomi, etc. Are any of them close? Just curious.
