I have a Collette as well. she goes by Colli or Lettie or even LaRue at home. I also have a Corinne and we call her Rin. She likes to go by Cor at school.
Have you done a Broadway/West End (Musicals) baby name list yet? This is the second time today I've heard Cosette/Cosy in a baby name video and I'm slightly obsessed. Would love to hear more along that theme
If you’d like a few suggestions of unusual names: Boys Pierre - Natasha, Pierre and the great comet Evan - dear Evan Hansen Marvin - falsettos Girls: Lulu - waitress Angelica - Hamilton Peggy - Hamilton Heather - heathers That’s what I could think of off the top of my head, hope this helps!
Dorothea was my great grandmother’s name, and the name is so beautiful. I love the name Theodora which is kind of like the name reversed, i think it would be a beautiful name for a girl and a great way to honor her!
Me too! I've always loved Irish names! My particular favourites are Niamh, Erin, Connor and Ryan! Gaelic names as a whole are favourites of mine though!
You have been such a treat to watch! We are finally pregnant with our first after 4 years so it’s fun to hear these names and dive into this, it’s so fun! French names are my fave :)
I love the name Cosette when it is said in your accent but I think here in the US it would be pronounced like cassette, like a cassette tape ☹️ and again I love the nickname Cosy when it’s said in your accent but here it would be heard like Cozy, like Cozy up by the fire lol
I've always said it like SJ even in the US but I can see how it would be confusing if you don't know its French. Cosy like cozy I think it why its so cute. At least thats how it sounded to me. You should go for it!
Hi SJ. Lovely list! For the nickname Kitty, one could just have the name Kit as the full name. I like it because normally nicknames shorten the full name but this one lengthens and cute-ifies it with Kitty. Kind of unique. I also love the contrast between how Kit is gender neutral and cool while Kitty is sweet and girly.
Yes!! I never realized how much I love surnames as first names until I looked at my list and realized that most of them were actually surnames like Kennedy, Mackenzie, Wallace, Wilder, Asher ! I would love to see that video!
I'd love to see a list of Welsh names in the future. I'm Catrin which is the Welsh version of Katherine, but I've always gone by Kitty or Kit. It also makes it easier for English people to be able to remember my name a little easier. Haha
1. Cosette - I can see myself using this name because Les Mis is my fave and Cosy is so cute for a nickname. 2. Hugo - Hmm I cant really get behind it, I like the way it sounds when you say it, but I don’t like it when anyone else says it.. but like the meaning behind it is so like.. it speaks to me 3. Aurora - Sleeping beauty was my fave character and RORY IS LITERALLY ON MY TOP 10 4. Sebastian - Now that it is a beautiful name, I love this name. Always loved this name 5. Dorothea - This is a no from me.. but you make the names I don’t even like sound beautiful. 6. Charles - I never even liked my name which is Charley, and then there’s Charles which is even worse 😂 7. Penelope - Lo as an nickname is so so cute and so is Nellie, but just don’t like the long name Penelope 8. Beresford - very unique, never heard this before but don’t think I’d use 9. Aurelia - Now this is so so pretty!! 10- Refus - This is like a dogs name to me 😂😂
This is very specific, but could you do a video on unisex names that can be pronounced both in english and norwegian/scandinavian (the pronounciation as you probably already know is pretty similar in norway, sweden and denmark)? The pronounciation doesn't have to be the same in each language, but I just love names and have a list even though I'm not having kids for a long time haha.
One name I love for a girl is Scarlett. And I always thought a cute nickname for Scarlett would be Lettie-I think that is super cute! I think Kitty could be a nickname for Katherine...which is my middle name!
I love nicknames! I named my daughter Elizabeth, and one of the biggest reasons I chose this gorgeous name was the abundance of nicknames! We call her Beth but when she’s older I love that she can choose. She could be Ellie, Eliza, Liz... the possibilities are endless.
Could you do a video on unusual Hebrew baby names? My daughter is called Aliza and we want to have our children's names linked by origin, but all the Hebrew names we can find are quite common! Love your videos too! X
I think Aurora and Rory are such lovely names for a girl but my favourite from this list is the nickname Chip for Charlie! That is so adorable, I love beauty and the beast!!! I also really like Beresford that is SO unique! I have never heard of it. I don’t really like the nicknames Ford or Beri but that’s just my preference but I like the sound of Beresford I just think people would look at me like “what??” If I ever named my kid that 😂 like I said I’ve never heard of it before so
The obvious answers for long forms of Pip and Kitty would be Pippin and Katherine but I think you could use them with other names. For Kitty I think you could use it as a nickname for Lucretia. Or if you wanted something more gender neutral, Kittredge which is a surname. For Pip, you could go Phillip or Piper which I think could definitely be used for boys.
I love the name Rory, it's the main character from Gilmore girls.. it sounds cute but it's actually a boy's name which means "old, redheaded , Irish man" 🤣
He name coralline with, Cory, and Cora for short. Ezekiel: Zeek Theodore: Teddy Lionel: Lion Elijah: Eli I also know someone named Sebastian who goes by sebas
my Name is Caitlin and I have SO MANY nicknames that I'm called on a daily basis! Cait and Caitie are the obvious ones, but i'm actually called Kitty too! My mum's always called me Kitty! I have two middle names, the first of which is May, a family name. I therefore get called Kitty-May, Caitie-May, KitKat, Kit, Kitty, Caitie, Caitlie (by my youngest family members who for some reason mixed up Caitlin and Caitie, resulting in Caitlie) Flossy (no idea where that's from), daisy and Dais which is from being called May and Maysie, so daisy-Maisie kinda just happened, and then was shortened to Dais and Daisy, and SO Many more! it's strange because I have so many nicknames but my parents didn't really think about any before I was born! the important one here is, of course, Kitty, which you mentioned. so yeah, my answer is Caitlin, and any other form of Catherine!
My name is Kaitlin and my nickname is Kaitie! How strange! Never seen the spelling Caitie or even Katie with two i’s, so it’s nice to know there is another out there!!
lollypopsical135 that’s so cool! I suppose I’ve never thought about the spelling of it, it’s just Cait with the ie like with Katie! Strange because if I look at the name Katie I don’t associate it with my name at all because it looks so different I think! Strange!! But yes, the ai and ie in the same name isn’t something that’s very usual! We’re almost name twins 😂
lollypopsical135 did you know there’s approximately 145+ ways to spell our name? I found that out ages ago and no one seems to care unless they’re called caitlin too! How often is your name misspelled? 😂😂
Katerina/Catarina is a lovely longer name for Kitty, and Pippin or Peregrine for Pip :) I heard sisters called Sybil 'Sibby' and Margot 'Margie' which I thought was cute & different :) I love Kit for Christopher too. I really like Dorothea after hearing it in your videos a few times, Dot is a sweet nickname. And Goldie is a good idea for Aurelia, I love that name but not many nickname options (that I like)
Love love love nicknames. My favorite names all have lots of nickname name options. Penelope: Penny, Nell, Nellie, Elle (my husband thinks Ella). Genevieve: Gen, Genny, Evie, Viv, Vivie, Vivi, Gigi. Victoria: Tora, Tori, Vicky. Elizabeth: Beth, Libby, Liza, Lizzie, Bety, Betsy, Lisa. Margaret: Margo, Margie, Maggie, Meg, Peggy
You are SUN KISSED ! Hope you had enjoyed Florida beach vibes. I'm obsessed with nicknames maybe because I love long traditional names. Also sometimes I forget my name is Leticia because all my friends call me Tish since I can remember. In my head, I'm gonna be a mum of 2 boys and a girl and the names I've picked are based on the nicknames haha I think I'll have a Dora, a Nate and a Bash (Isn't Sebastian the most beautiful baby boy name ?) Side note: Pip for Philip and Kitty for Katherine.
Cosette : Soooo lovely, Les Mis is my all-time fave musical, and I love the book as well! Though my fave girl name from it is actually Eponine haha. I love Euphrasie too haha. Hugo : Another very literary name, gorgeous! We call my Hugh "Hughie" a lot! Aurora : Super popular in the US! Sebastian : This name is wildly popular in the US, and I don't think most people realize it! Dorothea : These are all so literary, LOVE it! I love it with the nickname Dora, we briefly talked about it for our daughter Brenna! I also love that it's the lead from George Eliot's Middlemarch, I can relate so much to that character! Charles : I see this frequently here too! I'd love to see Charleston used more! Penelope : Nel is my fave! Beresford : OH I've been obsessed with this name this year, I've never heard any other namers bring it up!! Suuuuuch a great name! Aurelia : Stunning name! Rufus : Quirky chic, love!
One of my favourite names is actually my great-grandmother's name: *_Theotera_* . It's actually a variation of Theodora, which means gift of God in Greek. Some cute nicknames are Thea, Terry and Tera
I loved this list. I always like when you add possible nicknames when talking about baby names. So a whole video of just that was a great idea. 😊 When you said Lo for Penelope it reminded me of one of my top baby girl names Loa/Lóa. It's a type of bird, Golden Plover in english, and here in Iceland it was belived to bring spring and drive winter away. I think they may also have it in Sweden so I was wondering what you think of the name.
I love Rufus and would so consider choosing it. I met someone recently whose daughter was Dorothea and they nicknamed her Ora which I thought was really sweet. I also remember from when I was a child someone with the name Penelope and she was nicknamed Nib (Pen/Nib). I love the name Kitty and would choose it just on its own. Traditionally its short for Katherine but could also be Caitlin, Katerina, Katina, Kristen. I'd use it as short for Christina personally. I'd even be inclined to use it for something like Margaret (Meg is short for Margaret, Meg & Mog - Kitty). Pip is obviously traditionally short for Phillip but what about Pereguine or Pierre or Jean-Paul
Another great vlog! Pip would be a cute nickname for Philip, and my niece goes by Kitty but her full name is Katherine. If my daughter had been a boy her name would've been Charles However since I didn't want to use the traditional Nick names of either Chuck or Charlie, we decided on the nickname of either. Chase or Chaz but Chip is super cute too!
Pip could be a unique nickname for the more common Peter or Phillip. Kitty is usually short for Catherine, but I think it would be really cute as a nickname for the names Faline (FAY-leen) or Felina (fe-LEE-na) because they sound kind of like feline. I think these two rather uncommon names are so cutesy and animaly and I love them. Faline is also the name of Bambi's friend and later mate in the Disney movie.
We really like the name Kit for a boy but have too many Christophers in our extended family already. Anyone got any ideas of a longer name using Kit as a nickname?
So many GORGEOUS names on this list. I love love your choices! Aurelia was one I wanted Kate Hudson to use to honour her mom!!!! Your earrings are AMAZING! I need them!
Love these names SJ, although i don’t agree with naming your child for the nickname 😂 My parents knew from the moment they picked my name it was ‘Alexandra but Lexy for short’ and I despised both names growing up! Now happily known as Allie at 20 and have fully outgrown my nickname from when i was 9, but i will respond if i hear it shouted in public 😂😂
I need help! I love the name Kit for a girl and want to use it as a nickname but need some more full- name ideas! I love Katrina, and know about Catherine but need more options. Thank you!!
I love Aurelia! So beautiful. Have you ever come across Sunday as a name for a girl? I think it’s pretty unconventional but has such a soft feminine feel to it. And I love the nickname Sunny or Sun for it! Is that too strange of a name? Sunday Elm or Sunday Jane sounds sweet
SJ Strum thank you SJ! I’m 20 weeks pregnant with my first and we find out the gender next week and I’m pretty positive Sunday will be our pick if it’s a girl, I’m glad you don’t think it’s too odd! Lol
The Epik Life family TH-cam channel has their newest daughter named Cozette and although it’s not the original it’s so cute. Her nickname (and personal hashtag lol) was cozierosie before they changed her middle name.
Aurora and Dorothea had wonderful explanations! Think the following names could work for pip and kitty Pip- pippin/peregrin, maybe Christopher , Kitty- Katherine, Clarice, charlottes, serenity (my favourite)
Not sure if you've seen Gilmore Girls but the daughter in the show's name is Rory short for Lorelai. The mother and daughter are both named Lorelai because the mother wanted to name her daughter after herself just as males do, but the daughter's nickname is Rory!
Could you possibly do a video on typically male names for baby girls? I am really into them at the moment, and would love some more suggestions. I really love Jax, Blake, Everett, Sawyer and Elliot.
I love names that have short versions and would always want to give the long version so that there are options of what suits in different situations!! As a Philippa who goes by my full name, Pippa, Phil, or Pip it’s super versatile
One that I heard not too long ago and fell in love with is the name Nora with nickname Noddy. How cute is that! I'm also a big fan of Tabitha or Tilda with nickname Tiggy and Florence with nickname Flossy
My name is Nikitta and it often gets shortened to Kitta, Keets or Kitty 😊 Pip is adorable 😍 My husbands name is Jonathon and we call him Jonny or Jonty 😊 I absolutely adore your videos ❤️
I am expecting, we don’t know the gender yet but we are leaning towards the name Isidora for a girl and possibly August for a boy. Do you have suggestions for names in this style? I was hoping to find some back up names that are bold yet unique.

I also love the nickname Pip! I first thought about it after watching the Disney movie Enchanted. I think it would be a good nickname for Philip, Joseph, Peter, Penelope, or Pippa. Love your videos, they bring light to my tired Mondays! :)
A long name for Pip would (obviously) be Pippin and if u want a girl she could be Piper. Longer names for Kitty could be anything related to Katherine, Catherine, Kathryn, etc but also something like Katalina/Catalina, Katrina/Catrina, etc. My boyfriend's sister's name is Caris (Care-iss) and she goes by Kat but I can see Kitty working for that as well 😁
Pippy could be short for Phillipa and I've heard it short for Penelope, as well! Not sure about Kitty. I love the nickname kit, but I've never heard what it's a nickname for
One of your best videos of all time! Every time I watch it I feel so inspired! It might be time to revisit this topic and give us more of these types of names, what do you reckon?! 💖💙
My daughters named Collette but I love the s in cosette so beautiful
I have a Collette as well. she goes by Colli or Lettie or even LaRue at home.
I also have a Corinne and we call her Rin. She likes to go by Cor at school.
HI I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

I love the nickname Cosy for Cosette, but I think Etty is even cuter!
Beautiful!
My daughter is called Ettie 😊
@@maisiewilliams2291 So cute!
My name is Cosette ( my mom loved les mis ) everyone used to call me Cozy and Coco But I love Etty for a nickname and I’ve never thought of that!
Have you done a Broadway/West End (Musicals) baby name list yet? This is the second time today I've heard Cosette/Cosy in a baby name video and I'm slightly obsessed. Would love to hear more along that theme
Please yes💖
Yes I'm planning one! Someone is doing a YouTUbe tag on that so I'll join in :-) xxx
If you’d like a few suggestions of unusual names:
Boys
Pierre - Natasha, Pierre and the great comet
Evan - dear Evan Hansen
Marvin - falsettos
Girls:
Lulu - waitress
Angelica - Hamilton
Peggy - Hamilton
Heather - heathers
That’s what I could think of off the top of my head, hope this helps!
Dorothea was my great grandmother’s name, and the name is so beautiful. I love the name Theodora which is kind of like the name reversed, i think it would be a beautiful name for a girl and a great way to honor her!
My grams name is dorthy
I’d love a video on Irish names 😍
I agree 👍 (I'm Irish and my name is Éabha)
MuddyMoo what a lovely name! Is it pronounced like Ava? Sorry if I’m wrong haha I’m still learning 🙈xx
Yeah the name Ava came from Irish Éabha and is said the same way :) also Éabha means life
Hannah M Or Welsh ones!
Me too! I've always loved Irish names! My particular favourites are Niamh, Erin, Connor and Ryan!
Gaelic names as a whole are favourites of mine though!
My middle sons name is Sebastian, we call him Bash ❤️
Kitty would be a cute nik name for Katerina, and Pip maybe Phillip. love this list❤️
Victoria Papenfus I knew a bash! Xx
You have been such a treat to watch! We are finally pregnant with our first after 4 years so it’s fun to hear these names and dive into this, it’s so fun! French names are my fave :)
I love the name Cosette when it is said in your accent but I think here in the US it would be pronounced like cassette, like a cassette tape ☹️ and again I love the nickname Cosy when it’s said in your accent but here it would be heard like Cozy, like Cozy up by the fire lol
I've always said it like SJ even in the US but I can see how it would be confusing if you don't know its French. Cosy like cozy I think it why its so cute. At least thats how it sounded to me. You should go for it!
Peregrine for pip! Was a close runner up for my last baby...went with Jasper Wulfric and he goes by Wolfie! Rachael xx
Rachael Wilson ah I LOVE it x
that is SO cute! Jasper is one of my favorite names for a little boy, and Wolfie is such a cute nickname for a wiley boy.
Can You do a video on dutch names? Im dutch myself
I'd love to x
Hi SJ. Lovely list! For the nickname Kitty, one could just have the name Kit as the full name. I like it because normally nicknames shorten the full name but this one lengthens and cute-ifies it with Kitty. Kind of unique. I also love the contrast between how Kit is gender neutral and cool while Kitty is sweet and girly.
I’d love to see a baby names video using surnames as first names. I love names like Jackson xx
Sammy W yes I need to do that one!
Yea my son's name is Jaxson and I chose the name solely so I could call him Jax😎😎
Yes!! I never realized how much I love surnames as first names until I looked at my list and realized that most of them were actually surnames like Kennedy, Mackenzie, Wallace, Wilder, Asher ! I would love to see that video!
My 3 boys all have surnames as first names; Harrison, Tyler & Reece :)
I'd love to see a list of Welsh names in the future. I'm Catrin which is the Welsh version of Katherine, but I've always gone by Kitty or Kit. It also makes it easier for English people to be able to remember my name a little easier. Haha
Kitty yes I have one in the pipeline! Xxx
Is the pronunciation "Cat-Rin" or have I butchered it? Welsh names are lovely, and I don't want to say it wrong.
Lauren Fry Nope. You're dead right. It's very phonetic. Most Welsh names are (if you go by the Welsh alphabet)
My names Katherine🥴
I would love to see a Welsh baby names video as well! I’m currently in love with the name Gwylim.
1. Cosette - I can see myself using this name because Les Mis is my fave and Cosy is so cute for a nickname.
2. Hugo - Hmm I cant really get behind it, I like the way it sounds when you say it, but I don’t like it when anyone else says it.. but like the meaning behind it is so like.. it speaks to me
3. Aurora - Sleeping beauty was my fave character and RORY IS LITERALLY ON MY TOP 10
4. Sebastian - Now that it is a beautiful name, I love this name. Always loved this name
5. Dorothea - This is a no from me.. but you make the names I don’t even like sound beautiful.
6. Charles - I never even liked my name which is Charley, and then there’s Charles which is even worse 😂
7. Penelope - Lo as an nickname is so so cute and so is Nellie, but just don’t like the long name Penelope
8. Beresford - very unique, never heard this before but don’t think I’d use
9. Aurelia - Now this is so so pretty!!
10- Refus - This is like a dogs name to me 😂😂
notdelilah♡ rufus is a dogs name to so many people! I love it though; so cute!
Haha I love your descriptions of each name! 😅
Obsessed with your baby name videos!!!!💗💗
Lucy J yay!! 😍😍

Caroline yesss! I’m Norwegian but would need names that sound good in English since i live in the US now
You look absolutely stunning! Baby Name Monday is my favorite video series and I always look forward to it! I really love the nicknames Cosy and Coco!
Anna Monteith ah thank you so much for following along xxx
One name I love for a girl is Scarlett. And I always thought a cute nickname for Scarlett would be Lettie-I think that is super cute!
I think Kitty could be a nickname for Katherine...which is my middle name!
Rose Eastaugh I’m called Scarlett and everyone calls me lettie!
I know a scarlet and everyone calls her Scar lol
I love nicknames! I named my daughter Elizabeth, and one of the biggest reasons I chose this gorgeous name was the abundance of nicknames! We call her Beth but when she’s older I love that she can choose. She could be Ellie, Eliza, Liz... the possibilities are endless.
my daughter is Elizabeth too x
Could you do a video on unusual Hebrew baby names? My daughter is called Aliza and we want to have our children's names linked by origin, but all the Hebrew names we can find are quite common! Love your videos too! X
Have you heard the name Aviva? It means “life” in Hebrew.
@@OMGitsaClaire no I haven't but I really like it! Thank you x
Yes I'm planning one at the moment! There are amazing names - Aliza is so gorgeous xxxxx
I read the name Atarah in the Old Testament (I forget what book) the other week and googled it. It means crown in Hebrew and it sounds so elegant.
@@OMGitsaClaire
Aviva means "spring", actually. It's a beautiful name I think :)
Would love to see a music themed list! I love names like Renata, Allegra, Sonora and more!!!

Debbie Turner yes I have a list on the go! Xx
Aurora has been on my baby name list on my phone for ages because I love Rory from Gilmore girls but I love longer names with good nicknames too!
I think Aurora and Rory are such lovely names for a girl but my favourite from this list is the nickname Chip for Charlie! That is so adorable, I love beauty and the beast!!! I also really like Beresford that is SO unique! I have never heard of it. I don’t really like the nicknames Ford or Beri but that’s just my preference but I like the sound of Beresford I just think people would look at me like “what??” If I ever named my kid that 😂 like I said I’ve never heard of it before so
Clover is my favourite name!!!
So you could use as nicknames:
Lo
Clovie
Ver
OMG I love it too!
SJ Strum the nick name lovie, ADORABLE xx
The obvious answers for long forms of Pip and Kitty would be Pippin and Katherine but I think you could use them with other names. For Kitty I think you could use it as a nickname for Lucretia. Or if you wanted something more gender neutral, Kittredge which is a surname. For Pip, you could go Phillip or Piper which I think could definitely be used for boys.
Ooooh I LOVE Kittredge! How cute! Piper could so be a boys name couldn't it xxx
I love the name Rory, it's the main character from Gilmore girls.. it sounds cute but it's actually a boy's name which means "old, redheaded , Irish man" 🤣
Commenting on a two year old video because I loved it so much!
We have a baby named Peter whom we call Pidge, which is similar to Pip.
He name coralline with, Cory, and Cora for short.
Ezekiel: Zeek
Theodore: Teddy
Lionel: Lion
Elijah: Eli
I also know someone named Sebastian who goes by sebas
I know somebody with the full name Patrick and he goes by Patch. I always thought it was nice.
i love the name ophelia. it’s roman and means “helper” and has so many cute nicknames! i think it sounds so cool with aurelia or maybe cecelia.
I get SO excited for baby name Monday it’s my favourite way to start the week 🤗💜
Amy Vergouwen ah I’m so happy about that 😍
I love the nicknames Tilly and Tully for Matilda and Talulah!
my Name is Caitlin and I have SO MANY nicknames that I'm called on a daily basis! Cait and Caitie are the obvious ones, but i'm actually called Kitty too! My mum's always called me Kitty!
I have two middle names, the first of which is May, a family name.

and SO Many more!
it's strange because I have so many nicknames but my parents didn't really think about any before I was born!
the important one here is, of course, Kitty, which you mentioned. so yeah, my answer is Caitlin, and any other form of Catherine!
Caitlin Robinson I was called Flossie too 😂 no idea where it came from my teachers called me it 😂😍😍😍
My name is Kaitlin and my nickname is Kaitie! How strange! Never seen the spelling Caitie or even Katie with two i’s, so it’s nice to know there is another out there!!
SJ Strum It’s something my Mum calls me, I have no idea why and neither does she! so strange😂
lollypopsical135 that’s so cool! I suppose I’ve never thought about the spelling of it, it’s just Cait with the ie like with Katie! Strange because if I look at the name Katie I don’t associate it with my name at all because it looks so different I think! Strange!! But yes, the ai and ie in the same name isn’t something that’s very usual! We’re almost name twins 😂
lollypopsical135 did you know there’s approximately 145+ ways to spell our name? I found that out ages ago and no one seems to care unless they’re called caitlin too! How often is your name misspelled? 😂😂
Katerina/Catarina is a lovely longer name for Kitty, and Pippin or Peregrine for Pip :)
I heard sisters called Sybil 'Sibby' and Margot 'Margie' which I thought was cute & different :) I love Kit for Christopher too.
I really like Dorothea after hearing it in your videos a few times, Dot is a sweet nickname.
And Goldie is a good idea for Aurelia, I love that name but not many nickname options (that I like)
I’m really into nicknames! I always consider how a name will be shortened when naming my children! Xx
Love love love nicknames. My favorite names all have lots of nickname name options. Penelope: Penny, Nell, Nellie, Elle (my husband thinks Ella). Genevieve: Gen, Genny, Evie, Viv, Vivie, Vivi, Gigi.

teganthetankengine oh my god me too I’m obsessed with it rn I have a friend named elodie who goes by eddie (edd-ee)
You are SUN KISSED ! Hope you had enjoyed Florida beach vibes. I'm obsessed with nicknames maybe because I love long traditional names. Also sometimes I forget my name is Leticia because all my friends call me Tish since I can remember. In my head, I'm gonna be a mum of 2 boys and a girl and the names I've picked are based on the nicknames haha I think I'll have a Dora, a Nate and a Bash (Isn't Sebastian the most beautiful baby boy name ?)
Side note: Pip for Philip and Kitty for Katherine.
I love all you baby name ideas!! It was so gorgeous in Florida - Tish is super lovely xxx
Cosette : Soooo lovely, Les Mis is my all-time fave musical, and I love the book as well! Though my fave girl name from it is actually Eponine haha. I love Euphrasie too haha.
Hugo : Another very literary name, gorgeous! We call my Hugh "Hughie" a lot!
Aurora : Super popular in the US!
Sebastian : This name is wildly popular in the US, and I don't think most people realize it!
Dorothea : These are all so literary, LOVE it! I love it with the nickname Dora, we briefly talked about it for our daughter Brenna! I also love that it's the lead from George Eliot's Middlemarch, I can relate so much to that character!
Charles : I see this frequently here too! I'd love to see Charleston used more!
Penelope : Nel is my fave!
Beresford : OH I've been obsessed with this name this year, I've never heard any other namers bring it up!! Suuuuuch a great name!
Aurelia : Stunning name!
Rufus : Quirky chic, love!
One of my favourite names is actually my great-grandmother's name: *_Theotera_* . It's actually a variation of Theodora, which means gift of God in Greek. Some cute nicknames are Thea, Terry and Tera
I loved this list. I always like when you add possible nicknames when talking about baby names. So a whole video of just that was a great idea. 😊
When you said Lo for Penelope it reminded me of one of my top baby girl names Loa/Lóa. It's a type of bird, Golden Plover in english, and here in Iceland it was belived to bring spring and drive winter away. I think they may also have it in Sweden so I was wondering what you think of the name.
I love Rufus and would so consider choosing it. I met someone recently whose daughter was Dorothea and they nicknamed her Ora which I thought was really sweet. I also remember from when I was a child someone with the name Penelope and she was nicknamed Nib (Pen/Nib). I love the name Kitty and would choose it just on its own. Traditionally its short for Katherine but could also be Caitlin, Katerina, Katina, Kristen. I'd use it as short for Christina personally. I'd even be inclined to use it for something like Margaret (Meg is short for Margaret, Meg & Mog - Kitty). Pip is obviously traditionally short for Phillip but what about Pereguine or Pierre or Jean-Paul
Mog is so so cute!!!
A video on Slavic names would be amazing! Like Croatian, Serbian, etc. ❤️
Another great vlog! Pip would be a cute nickname for Philip, and my niece goes by Kitty but her full name is Katherine.
If my daughter had been a boy her name would've been Charles
However since I didn't want to use the traditional Nick names of either Chuck or Charlie, we decided on the nickname of either. Chase or Chaz but Chip is super cute too!
My brother is a Pip from Philip. I love Kitty too.
I named my daughter Aurora and we call her Rory 🥰 it suits her so well!
Pip could be a unique nickname for the more common Peter or Phillip. Kitty is usually short for Catherine, but I think it would be really cute as a nickname for the names Faline (FAY-leen) or Felina (fe-LEE-na) because they sound kind of like feline. I think these two rather uncommon names are so cutesy and animaly and I love them. Faline is also the name of Bambi's friend and later mate in the Disney movie.
We really like the name Kit for a boy but have too many Christophers in our extended family already. Anyone got any ideas of a longer name using Kit as a nickname?
So many GORGEOUS names on this list. I love love your choices! Aurelia was one I wanted Kate Hudson to use to honour her mom!!!! Your earrings are AMAZING! I need them!
Love the nickname Rory especially since Gilmore girls but she was Lorelai and it's easily one of my favourite names
I recently subscribed to your videos and I love your videos so much
I have always loved Sebastian as I had heard the nickname 'Bash' being used which i just think is the cutest for a little rough and tumble boy
What about a Patrick that goes by Patch? I always thought that was sweet.
For Sebastian a great nickname is Bash 😍
I also love the name Charlotte with the nickname Charlie!
And Veronica with the nickname Ronny
Love these names SJ, although i don’t agree with naming your child for the nickname 😂 My parents knew from the moment they picked my name it was ‘Alexandra but Lexy for short’ and I despised both names growing up! Now happily known as Allie at 20 and have fully outgrown my nickname from when i was 9, but i will respond if i hear it shouted in public 😂😂
Have you seen the name Guinevere around? I really like it spelled Gwynevere with the nickname Winnie.
Stephanie Herrnreiter I’ve not heard of one but it’s really lovely x
I know a little Guinevere! She went by Neve or Evie
For Aurora you could do Rora which I like
I love the nickname “Ashton” for Sebastian! Idk if its common but I think its really different!
I work with child who’s surname is beresford. I’ve never heard it as a first name before, it’s definitely quirky... but I kind of like it ❤️
I need help! I love the name Kit for a girl and want to use it as a nickname but need some more full- name ideas! I love Katrina, and know about Catherine but need more options. Thank you!!
You don't look weird at all here, you actually look so nice and natural! :D
I love Aurelia! So beautiful. Have you ever come across Sunday as a name for a girl? I think it’s pretty unconventional but has such a soft feminine feel to it. And I love the nickname Sunny or Sun for it! Is that too strange of a name? Sunday Elm or Sunday Jane sounds sweet
Giorgia Perotti I love Sunday as a name. The combos you made are beautiful.
Omg I LOVE it - Sunday Elm is perfect. I might start telling people SJ stands for Sunday Jane! ha ha!
Melissa Cynthia thank you!!
SJ Strum thank you SJ! I’m 20 weeks pregnant with my first and we find out the gender next week and I’m pretty positive Sunday will be our pick if it’s a girl, I’m glad you don’t think it’s too odd! Lol
my middle name is Aurelia and I just to not like it but now I find it quite nice and unique 😊
The Epik Life family TH-cam channel has their newest daughter named Cozette and although it’s not the original it’s so cute. Her nickname (and personal hashtag lol) was cozierosie before they changed her middle name.
For Kitty you could use Katherine. Kit is a nickname for Katherine so using Kitty when she was little would be a cute option
Aurora and Dorothea had wonderful explanations!
Think the following names could work for pip and kitty
Pip- pippin/peregrin, maybe Christopher ,
Kitty- Katherine, Clarice, charlottes, serenity (my favourite)
Hugo will always be my favorite boy name! I love it so much!
What about the name cleopatra, Cleo for short
I just love it!
I agree very cute name
Not sure if you've seen Gilmore Girls but the daughter in the show's name is Rory short for Lorelai. The mother and daughter are both named Lorelai because the mother wanted to name her daughter after herself just as males do, but the daughter's nickname is Rory!
Love your baby name videos so much! I really like the name Cora for a baby girl, just think it’s so sweet 💕
Could you possibly do a video on typically male names for baby girls? I am really into them at the moment, and would love some more suggestions. I really love Jax, Blake, Everett, Sawyer and Elliot.
I love names that have short versions and would always want to give the long version so that there are options of what suits in different situations!! As a Philippa who goes by my full name, Pippa, Phil, or Pip it’s super versatile
One that I heard not too long ago and fell in love with is the name Nora with nickname Noddy. How cute is that! I'm also a big fan of Tabitha or Tilda with nickname Tiggy and Florence with nickname Flossy
My name is Nikitta and it often gets shortened to Kitta, Keets or Kitty 😊
Pip is adorable 😍
My husbands name is Jonathon and we call him Jonny or Jonty 😊
I absolutely adore your videos ❤️
for pip - phillipa is a lovely one. and for kitty - katrina is all i could conjure up!
I am expecting, we don’t know the gender yet but we are leaning towards the name Isidora for a girl and possibly August for a boy. Do you have suggestions for names in this style? I was hoping to find some back up names that are bold yet unique.
I love the name Vincent. There's so many nicknames you can do; Vin, Vince, Vinny.
Two names I would pick solely for the nicknames are Savannah (Savvy) for a girl and Theodore (Teddy or Theo) for a boy. Love your lists!
Aurora is also another name for the Northern Lights, which are so beautiful and mystical
Love your video so so much! 😍
Ohhh I would love a Dutch name and nickname list!!

I know a little girl named Penelope whose baby sister calls her Poppy. I just melted the first time I heard that. ♡
I love Penelope but the nickname Elle ❤️x
Oh yes - wow there are so many pretty sounds in that name! I thought of Nell too when I uploaded this as a simpler version than nellie xx
I don't know about anyone else but the name Rufus reminds me of a name used for a dog!! Saying that I adore the name Dotty
SJ, you should do a names popular in Brazil list!! I'm Brazilian, I could help you if you need help.
I also love the nickname Pip! I first thought about it after watching the Disney movie Enchanted. I think it would be a good nickname for Philip, Joseph, Peter, Penelope, or Pippa. Love your videos, they bring light to my tired Mondays! :)
Beresford is an awesome name. I love the nn Ford for it as well. My favorite nn for Charles is Chaz, Chip is a close 2nd
I knew a sebastian in school who went by basti and i love love love how it sounds
Love your videos!
I always thought that Lola would be a good nickname for Aurora, what do you think?
Rory reminds me of Gilmore girls!
Lydia Hitch omg we all wish we have a girl like Rory!! Lol
Poppy is also a cute nickname for Penelope☺️
I’m not having a baby but I might be getting a dog so I’ve been watching your baby name videos for inspiration hahaha😆
There is also a student in my nephews class named Penelope that goes by poppy as a nickname!
I don't personally love nick names (I was given a nick name-andie for andrea), so I choose short names for my kiddos) I like pet names though 😃.
A long name for Pip would (obviously) be Pippin and if u want a girl she could be Piper. Longer names for Kitty could be anything related to Katherine, Catherine, Kathryn, etc but also something like Katalina/Catalina, Katrina/Catrina, etc. My boyfriend's sister's name is Caris (Care-iss) and she goes by Kat but I can see Kitty working for that as well 😁
Pippy could be short for Phillipa and I've heard it short for Penelope, as well! Not sure about Kitty. I love the nickname kit, but I've never heard what it's a nickname for
Would you ever consider doing Irish names? They're all so beautiful❤
One of your best videos of all time! Every time I watch it I feel so inspired! It might be time to revisit this topic and give us more of these types of names, what do you reckon?! 💖💙
