What are your favorite nicknames for boys? girls? unisex? I am going to do a Namebank CAF and would love your favorite nicknames to help build my namebank. I will post mine in a seperate response. They can be nicknames or names you prefer as nicknames.If you want you can tell us the names that they go with, or you can just put the nickname.
Thanks Everyone!

I don't like many nicknames, but some are okay. My favorite is Nellie/Nelly, for Helen or even Penelope!

I have the same problem as Llewella - nicknames are too tied to the full name, in my mind. But I can list a few:Arlie (Arlette, Arlene)
Bess, Betsy (Elizabeth)
Birdie (Someone once suggested this for Bernadette and I thought it was cute)
Fia (my nn)
Flick (Felicity, Felicia)
Kate, Katie (Katherine, Kathryn)
Millie, Milly (Funny... I like the nn but can't think of any full names I like)
Nela, Nella (Ornella)
Dom (Dominic)
Flip (Dutch short form of Philip)
Gil (Gilbert or anything else that begins with Gil)
Paddy (Patrick)
Tom (Thomas)
Wes (Wesley)Edited to remove links & I also just realized Fia is not in the database, I'm kind of surprised.

That's a hard question because to me nicknames are very linked to their full names, and not really seperate entities. But I'll try to think of some favorites!Jamie, Jem - James
Effie, Eppie, Femie - Euphemia

Will - William
Frank - Francis
Nan, Nancy, Nanw - Anne
Pat - Patrick

Bram - Abraham, Abram
Lyn - Llewellyn, Emlyn
Bridie, Birdie - Bridget
Bedo - Meredith, Meredydd, Maredudd
I also really like Iolo, but not so much Iorwerth. Maybe it could work for Ionawr.

Fran (Frances, Francesca)
Essie (Estella, Estelle, Esmeralda)
Allie (Allegra, Alexandria)
Belle / Bella (Bellatrix, Mirabella, Annabella, Arabella, Isabella)
Minta (Araminta)
Callie / Calla (Camilla, Camille, Calanthe, Calanthia, Calliope)
Lila (Delilah, Lorelei)
Ella / Elle (Eloise, Eleri, Estella, Estelle, Eulalie, Eulalia, Eleanor, Elanor)
