[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not give your second daughter a shorter, less important sounding name than first daughter. Use the same naming criteria. I have an older who has an important name. I got the nickname. It's just weird. As an example: If eldest is Delilah and you call her Lily, then for younger do: Beatrice and call her Bea or Bertie or.... I never understand why parents name differently. Like all J names, then last child gets W. [/quote] Are shorter names automatically "less important sounding"? I think it really depends on the name. If the older daughter has a kind of serious name with a cute nickname (like your Beatrice example), then your advice makes sense. But what if the older daughter is Calliope with a nickname Callie? Daisy would fit perfectly with the whimsical Calliope and/or Callie.[/quote]
