Hey mom and dad, congratulations! Your baby has arrived, and you must be so excited to hold her in your arms while gazing into her beautiful eyes. Looking at how adorable she is, your heart may be melting, making you call her different cute girl nicknames most of the time.But hey, nicknames no longer have to be any random word that strikes your mind at the moment. You can call your baby a nickname that feels relatable or best describes your little tot. Here are some tips that you can refer to before finalising some pet names for baby girl:
Shorten the Official Name
Picking a nickname for your baby can be as daunting as selecting your original baby's name. But we've got you an easy way out – go for a short and simple nickname by selecting the initial or the last letters of your baby boy’s or baby girl’s name. In the case of a very long name, you can also choose the middle letters of you baby girl’s or baby boy’s name. For example, Alex from Alexandria, Ritu from Ritika, or Avi from Bhavishya.
The Combination Can Do the Trick
When it comes to choosing a unique name, you can always try fun combinations like combining the first and the middle names or the first and the last names.
Try Synonyms
You can also select the synonyms of your baby's original name as a nickname if you know the meaning of the original name. This can make for a perfect baby girl nickname without affecting the meaning of the original name. For example, if you named your daughter Priya, you could select a pet name like Lovely for her.
The First Impression is the Last
If you are a believer, then it's best to go for the idea that first hit your mind. This means you can choose a nickname for your baby girl based on the word or idea that struck your mind when you first saw your daughter.
Go for a Fictitious Name
Love a character from a movie or book? Use it as your baby's nickname, then be it a popular cartoon character or a lead character from your favourite movie or book. For example, Cinderella, Chutki, Doraemi, Dora, Indu, etc.
Pass on the Legacy
If you wish to call your daughter by the same nickname that your parents gave you, feel free to use it as is or make a few modifications here and there. For example, if you were called by the name Cinderella, you could call your baby Cindy, Cinderella, Ella, or if it was Sona, you can call her the same or Sonu or Shonu.
Things to Remember
As you will be calling your baby by her nickname every day, it's good to remember certain things before picking a pet name for your little one:
Acceptance
Calling your baby a unique and distinct name is all good, but it should not be unacceptable for her. When your little one grows up, she shouldn't mind you calling her by the nickname you've chosen (if you plan to continue calling her with the nickname forever).
Avoid Further Twists
Altering the original nickname multiple times to make it more unique can result in losing its essence and relevance
Short-n-Sweet
Choose a nickname that is easy to pronounce and remember and that it sounds soothing to the ears.
Non-Abusive
Make sure the nickname you choose for your baby girl does not give others a chance to tease her. So, select the one that doesn't embarrass her in public.
Unique or Popular
The final decision lies in your hands. So, go for a perfectly balanced name as an absolute unique name can sometimes make it awkward, and a popular name may be boring.
We've curated a list of cute and funny baby girl nicknames that you can call your new born until she grows up to be a toddler.
