forgot to add the nicknames I need help with
in reply to a message by Briar
Nicknames I love that I'm unsure of full names for:
Billie - considered Wilhelmina, but that's a lotta name! (My great grandpa was Wilburn "Bill")
Evie - I love Eve, but I'm still not sure. Dislike Evelyn and Eva
Frankie - considered Francesca, but I'm not Italian
Lola - Lorelei? Or is this one tooo dog-ish?
Poppy - considered Penelope and Persephone, unsure which of these work better or if either works.
Romy - Romilly is my number one for this nickname, but everyone irl hates it
Savvy - Savannah used to be my #1 until the burst of popularity. I still love Savvy though.
**Nicknames are really a big deal in my family, so the kid would often be called by their nick.
Thanks!

Billie works on its own, in my opinion. How about Willa or Willow, though? Wilhelmine? Wilma?
Evie - Evita, Evanna?
Frankie - you don't have to be Italian to use Francesca. Frances? Francine?
Lola - Dolores? Lola works on its own
Poppy - works on its own
Romy - same
Savvy - hmmm don't know, but I like Savannah
Evie - Evita, Evanna?

Savvy - hmmm don't know, but I like Savannah
Billie - I love Wilhelmina, but I understand what you mean. Maybe Willow?
Evie - Evangeline is my favorite for Evie. Genevieve would be nice too.
Frankie - I like Francesca. Francine or Frances would be my only other suggestions.
Lola - I love Lorelei! Leopoldine might work.
Poppy - Penelope! It's one of my favorites and I think Poppy is every bit as acceptable as Penny or Nell. Persephone is a good one too. Keeping with the Greek theme, Parthenope could work too.
Romy - I'm not a fan of Romilly, sorry. Maybe Andromache, Andromeda, Romola, Rosamond or Rosemary?
Savvy - Savannah is super popular here too. Savitri?
