I like Dolly and Suzy not really a fan of the rest. I suppose Gertie would be for Gertrude? I have never heard it before but read this week there was a Anne Gertie in my family line. Her mother was Anegertine so I think the Gertie came from her mother's name. So I would possibly consider Gertie for the love of family names otherwise I'm not a huge fan

MamieCan't face the others - sorry! I've never encountered a Binnie: is it short for Belinda? Benedicta?

Beatrice is a family name, and from the 19th century till today they've all been known as Bea or Beattie; I sometimes call my daughter Tris. And the only Bernice I know was called Bernie if anything; she usually went by the full name, which her family believed was after her father, Bernard!

There's a character in the Doctor Who books whose name is Bernice Summerfield and she goes by the nickname "Benny". I feel like "Binnie" isn't too much of a stretch from "Benny" or "Bennie".

I know of a woman who goes by Bin and Binnie. Her real name is Belinda. I know that Bindy is a nickname for Belinda.
