Cool Girls Nicknames

My favorite nicknamey type names for girls
  1. Allie
    • Origin:

      Variation or diminutive of Alexandra, Alice or Allison
    • Description:

      Allie is one short form that's gotten so popular it's often used as a name on its own. Cute, friendly, yet we'd recommend using one of the proper names such as Alice to give your daughter an option. These days, Ellie might be more fashionable.
  2. Arli
    • Cosie
      • Georgie
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "farmer"
        • Description:

          A spunky boyish diminutive in the vein of Frankie, Billie and Charlie, but far less popular in the US. Georgie could be a nickname for Georgia, Georgette, Georgina or Georgiana – or just use it as it is, as over 90 sets of American parents did in 2021.
      • Jessie
        • Origin:

          Anglicized form of Teasagh or diminutive of Jessica, Hebrew
        • Meaning:

          "behold or wealthy"
        • Description:

          Jessie has never been used as much as Jennie/Jenny, partly because it's a boys’ name as well (spelled Jesse), but it does have a friendly and unpretentious pioneer feel. In Scotland, it's found as an Anglicized form of Teasagh, itself a form of Jean, and is used as a full name. And in the rest of the world, Jessie may be short for Jessica or used on its own.
      • Josie
        • Origin:

          English, diminutive of Josephine, feminine of Joseph
        • Meaning:

          "Jehovah increases"
        • Description:

          Josie is jaunty and friendly: among the most winning of all nickname names. She's been on the social security list since records began being kept.
      • Lottie
        • Origin:

          English, diminutive of Charlotte
        • Meaning:

          "free man"
        • Description:

          Lottie is a nostalgic great-grandma name that conjures up lockets and lace, and — like Nellie, Josie, Hattie, Tillie, and Milly — has considerable vintage charm.
      • Maddie
        • Origin:

          Diminutive of Madeline or Madison, English
        • Meaning:

          "woman from Magdala or son of Matthew"
        • Description:

          Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn was one of the first to put this nickname on the birth certificate. Cute for a child, but we recommend giving her the option of the full name for later use.
      • Ollie
        • Origin:

          Short form of Olive or Olivia, Latin
        • Meaning:

          "olive tree"
        • Description:

          Ollie is used less often as a nickname for the mega-popular Olivia or the stylish Olive than Ellie is for Eleanor or Allie for Allison. That may be because Ollie has a much longer use as a nickname for boys.
      • Teddy
        • Origin:

          Diminutive of Theodora
        • Description:

          Cute boyish short forms like Teddy and Frankie and Billie are in some ways a relic of the past, of the days before unisex names, when girls were given feminized versions of their father's names, but they are starting to come into their own again.
