So here's what i need...

I need a girls name, not completely unknown but NOT popular, preferably out of the top 500, definitely out of the top 100.
It can't be made up or kree8tively spelled
It needs a nickname that doesn't end in an "e" sound.


I'm having trouble finding names whose nicknames aren't an "e" ending sound. I already have a Toby, and and I don't want two "e" ending names. So help me out here, girls! Are there names that have nicknames that end in "a" or some other sound?

Hmm... what about:

Livia (Liv)
Serafina (Sera)
Cassia (Cass)
Paloma (Lola)
Miriam (Mira)
Aurelia (Lia)
Vivienne (Viv)
Genevieve (Genna, Neve, Eve, Viv, etc)
Francesca (Frannie, Cesca, etc)
Elodie (Ella)
Annabel (Anne, Belle)
Saffron (Saff)
Cecilia (Celia)
Cordelia (Delia, Cora)
Anastasia (Ana)
Isadora (Dora)
Beatrice (Bea)
Althea (Thea)
Mabel (Mae)
Calista (Calla)
Marina (Mara, Rina)
Helena (Lena)
Alana (Lana)
Matilda (Tilda)

Here are some names I could think of that I like and have non "ee" nicknames:

Aveline (Ava)
Marielle (Elle)
Genevieve (Eve)
Valentina (Lena, Val I know it's very 60's, but I think it's cute)
Arabella (Bella)
Evelina (Eve, Lina)
Mirabel (Belle)

What is Toby short for?
What are some examples of names you like?

Andrea - Drea
Angelina - Lena
Anthea - Thea
Beatrice, Beatrix - Bea, Bee
Cecilia, Cecily - Celia
Colette - Coco
Cordelia - Delia
Delphine - Della
Dorothy - Dot
Eleanor - Nora
Helena - Lena, Nell
Katherine - Kate, Kaye
Leonora - Nora
Louisa - Lulu
Margaret - Meg
Paloma - Lola
Patricia - Paisha
Penelope - Nell
Philippa - Pippa
Rosemary - Rose
Susannah - Sanna
Theresa - Tess, Tessa
Veronica - Vera
Vivian - Viv
Wilhelmina - Willa

You might want to use a name without a nn since most girls' nn's end in -ie or -y (the EE sound). But here are a few ideas. Some, however, are not stylistically good with Toby.

Jillian nn Jill* -- love this one
Philippa nn Pippa
Cornelia nn Nell
Maribel nn Bel

Gemma nn Gem*
Pamela nn Pam*
Natasha nn Tasha
Teresa/Tessa nn Tess
Melissa nn Mel*
Vivian nn Viv*
Valarie nn Val*
Patricia nn Tricia
Rebecca nn Becca
Mabel nn May
Lynette nn Lyn*
Linnea nn Linn
Alexandra nn Alex/Alix or Sasha
Kimber nn Kim* -- love this one
Gwendolyn nn Gwen
Estella nn Stella
Delila nn Del
Crimson nn Crim*
Cecile nn Cec

I have * the ones I think would go well with Toby.

I've starred ones that are known (they appear in England top 300) but don't appear at all in US 1000.

Annabel (Anna)
Bethan* (Beth)
Dahlia (Lia)
Eliana (Ana/Ella)
Eloise* (Ella)
Esme* (May)
Felicity (Lissa)
Francesca (Cessa)
Gemma (Gem)
Helena (Lena)
Imogen* (Gen/Jen)

Louisa* (Lou)
