I call her by her whole name plus a wide array of cutesy nicknames that have nothing to do with her name as well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290699 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 09:15:09 +0000 Mae 1290699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Nope not yet. we are worrying about first name first, then we'll figure out the 2nd. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290695 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 09:13:07 +0000 twodoghouse 1290695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I love the name Fiona so much and don't think it needs a nickname at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290646 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 08:54:50 +0000 pelikila 1290646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a middle name picked out? Can you make a pairing with the first and middle name? Example: C's name is Caleb Julian and there really aren't nicknames that go with that but some family members call him CJ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290523 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 07:53:15 +0000 looch 1290523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need to have a nickname with that name. Plus, she might have one rom her peers or she may give herself one, you never know. </p> <p>My son made up his own nickname, I never would have thought of it, but it has stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290435 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 01:51:52 +0000 NurseMommy 1290435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: Fiona; I think it's a beautiful name and it's on our list if we have another daughter. I agree that you don't really need a nickname. Our daughter Aria may or may not have one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290361 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 23:07:31 +0000 Kemma 1290361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only Fiona I knew ended being called "Fones"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290359 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 23:02:13 +0000 HellOnHeels 1290359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Close to Nona but I've heard the nickname Noni thrown around.

My husband and I both have very dark hair. I have some red highlights and he has some too when his beard comes in. I imagined she would be born with a mop of dark hair...but nope. We're both of Irish/Scottish descent,. May the redhead odds be ever in your favor ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290317 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 22:10:16 +0000 Mae 1290317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@strawberry: aw!! I would love if our little girl had red hair, I think red haired girls are so cute. Both DH and I were blonde as kids but his beard comes in red (and he's Irish) and my hair has a lot of red undertones (partially scottish) so I have hope!! heh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290316 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 22:09:39 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1290316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fiona is beautiful and I loved it from Burn Notice and the nickname was Fi (Fee) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290314 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 22:07:49 +0000 strawberry 1290314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Fiona :) we don't do nickname. We've had people ask if she has a nickname, but so far no one had called her one. We also fell in love with the name from burn notice. We ended up with a fiery, feisty redhead so it seems quite fitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290297 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 21:52:54 +0000 Boheme 1290297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need a nickname unless you absolutely want one!<br /> Fiona is such a pretty name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290282 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 21:44:25 +0000 deerylou 1290282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Fiona in one of my classes, and the kiddos called her "Fio" (sounds like Theo). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290280 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 21:43:36 +0000 jhd 1290280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Fiona!!!

My name's three syllables and is never shortened. I did have a cutesy Fifi-esque nickname as a young kid, but that naturally went away as I got older. The only Fiona I know goes by Fi with friends, but if you're looking for something modern or less girly (since really it doesn't get more girly than Fifi), maybe Fin would work? Just to give her some options :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290130 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:14:32 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1290130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I fully admit that the name idea came from the show!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290127 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:13:10 +0000 Mae 1290127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I haven't seen that, but one of the characters on Burn Notice is named Fiona and she also goes by Fi.

It sounds like if we go this route we should probably just make an effort to not give her a nickname. I don't know why that seems odd to me, both my husband and I have 2 syllable names with no nicknames. I guess since this name is 3 syllables it just seems like it should have a nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290118 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 20:05:46 +0000 78h2o 1290118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Fia and remember someone on nameberry choosing Fiona to get the nickname Fia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290107 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 19:57:25 +0000 creativemomma15 1290107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin has a daughter named Fiona… they don't use a nickname related to her name. I think she has a random nickname they used when she was still pregnant, but they usually use Fiona. But, my DS calls her Nona, he is 1 1/2 and that's how he can say her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290101 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 19:56:19 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1290101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it needs a nickname!

C doesn't have one, though we still say silly rhyming things. If se was Fiona I probably would call her Fi-Fi at home but not as a general nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290087 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 19:48:09 +0000 cmomma17 1290087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love names that don't have nicknames :)<br /> Fiona is a great name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-nicknames#post-1290085 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 19:47:02 +0000 mrsbookworm 1290085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Fiona! I don't think you need a nickname - it's short enough to stand on it's own. </p>
