Nicknames are cool again for baby girls. The <a href="https://nameberry.com/blog/nicknames-ultimate-guide">best nicknames</a> today are not the cutesy Cindys and Mindys, Candys and Randis of the '60s and '70s, but rather vintage diminutives or sassy nicknames with attitude. 
</br></br>
Some parents choose a proper name as a way to get to a nickname they like: Adeline for Addie, say, or Eleanor for Ellie. Or a baby girl nickname can lighten or soften a too-imposing family name. Wilhelmina turns cute when she's called Billie, and Daisy can be a wonderful nickname for Marguerite. 

</br></br>More and more parents are electing to put the nickname straight on their baby daughter's birth certificate, and there's no reason that a nickname can't also be a formal name. Many nicknames for girls are now appearing on popularity lists, with top choices including Ellie, Josie, Kate, Tess, and Sadie. Up-and-coming girls' nicknames include Frankie and Billie.
