My name is 4 letters and I don't have a nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100532 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:46:22 +0000 littlebug 2100532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be hardpressed to come up with a nn for Willa, and personally wouldn't want one - I think the name is lovely as it is! But if her friends want to give her a nn, they'll come up with something. My name is a 4-letter 2-syllable name; my nn is a completely different 4-letter 2 syllable name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100502 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:31:17 +0000 swurlygurl 2100502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, nicknames just kinda form on their own. If you like nicknames, you'll come up with one :)<br /> Keira's nickname has turned into Keekers - definitely not a nickname I expected! :P (Although I imagine I'll stop calling her that when it embarrasses her!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100491 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:22:28 +0000 wrkbrk 2100491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: choosing a name with no possible nickname is the best thing you can do! haha! my friend chose mia and it's perfect bc no one can shorten it or change it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100489 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:21:26 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2100489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's fine without one but if you want one... Wills? Lala? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100469 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:10:10 +0000 Banana330 2100469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: My DH has issues with some of our name options because they don't have good nicknames or he doesn't like the nickname. I told him he can call her whatever he wants it doesn't have to be directly related to her name... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100464 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:04:23 +0000 loki 2100464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: i like wills too. i'm scared my dh will call her willy. i'll put my foot down on that one haha.</p> <p>@looch: haha i couldn't say my brother's name (jonathan) so instead of attempting i just called him bobby. you're right, things happen naturally so i probably shouldn't stress it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100461 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:01:41 +0000 looch 2100461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think that name needs a nickname, but your kid might not be able to say it (as mine did with his full name), so he made up his own nickname. We also called him Mr. G, The G, etc.</p> <p>Some nicknames just evolve out of other behaviours, so it could very well be Muffy at some point, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100429 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:51:09 +0000 loveisstrange 2100429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Mine has a popular diminutive too, but I don't use it. I wouldn't call her Will, but Id probably use Wills. Which is no shorter but I think it's cute. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100421 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:46:41 +0000 Alivoo01 2100421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Willa sounds like a name of its own and doesn't have a nickname associated with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100415 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:43:28 +0000 loki 2100415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: aw i had to give up the dream of so many names because of our last name :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100413 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:42:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 2100413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first thing that popped into my head is Willa-bee, but honestly it's such an adorable name it doesn't need a "nickname" off of the actual name. I love this name, but it doesn't work with our last name :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100408 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:41:18 +0000 sapphire 2100408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's beautiful and doesn't need a nickname! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100402 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:39:21 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2100402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gonna guess with Willa it would be more of a cutesy longer name! I was thinking Willa-bee for some reason, similar to @BabyBoecksMom ! And Cora is also beautiful, good names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100389 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:34:58 +0000 loki 2100389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: haha i guess it doesn't need one. i only have a four letter, two syllable first name but a common short form. i guess i'm thinking more shortform than nickname... but can't imagine calling her will? i'm just such a nickname person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100386 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:33:25 +0000 loveisstrange 2100386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why does it need a nickname? I have a 5 letter first name, and I don't have one. My name is 5 letters long and you can damn well say the whole thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100369 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:27:23 +0000 loki 2100369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Ahhh it's one of my FAVES! for some reason DH likes Nora but doesn't like Cora... I think it's because of the restaurant Cora's up here haha. He's weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100348 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:19:10 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2100348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Cora :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100314 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:01:59 +0000 loki 2100314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: what's DD2's name, if you don't mind me asking? I obviously love your taste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100308 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:00:01 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2100308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Yep! We had never heard of that combo before - it just kind of happened. And now my Willa has made a nickname for our 2nd daughter that is nothing like her name. (Bay-buh?). *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100300 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:57:47 +0000 loki 2100300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: that's so cute and really funny because i was talking about this with my best friend and she suggested Willa Bean! </p> <p>my husband is set on Gemma and although I like it, i don't LOVE it but I love the nickname options! so I'm struggling... but I guess babies/kids acquire nicknames organically! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100285 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:54:05 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2100285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I was the same way when I was picking my 1st daughter's name. I wanted her to be named Willa after my great grandmother, but there wasn't any nicknames that go with it. I still chose it and we call her Willa Bean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100282 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:53:38 +0000 MrsRcCar 2100282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boys ( Nolan and Elliot) both don't have a nicknames. The future kid names we like don't have nicknames either. Doesn't mean we don't call them other things. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100281 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:53:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2100281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think Willa needs a NN - maybe something cutesy might pop in your head though? Willa Nilla? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100275 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:51:13 +0000 mrsjyw 2100275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Willa just as is :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100272 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:51:01 +0000 yellowbird 2100272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think she'll get any nicknames! My dds name is really nicknamable but no one calls her anything for short. I have a 3 letter name myself and no real nicknames growing up. My mom used to call me a few cutesy things but nothing school friends would use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-willa#post-2100262 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:48:41 +0000 loki 2100262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have posted about a thousand times about names... I'm 36 weeks on Thursday and we still have not come to an agreement about names!</p> <p>My #1 is Willa but my only issue with it is that there aren't any really natural nicknames for it. </p> <p>What do you think a Willa would end up being called for short, if anything? Do you have/know a Willa? If so, what nicknames does she get? </p>
