We have been struggling finding girls names we agree on. I like simple and classic, partner like cute and nn type nameS. So we are trying to compromise.
WDYT???
Alexandra Lee nn Alex
Savannah Lee nn??? I don't like Sav
Amelia Lee nn Milly
I quite like Amelia and Milly but is it too common now?
Re: Here we go...
I like Alexandra but I'm not a huge fan of the NN Alex.
The only Savannah I know IRL doesn't use a NN, I like it without a NN.
Amelia is my favorite. Milly is cute and I wouldn't consider it really popular.
Amelia is my favourite from your list. I like Alexandra as well, Savannah is NMS and other than Anna/Ann I don't know a nn for it.
Suggestions
Matilda nn Tilly
Cassandra nn Cassie
Wilhelmina nn Willa
Magnolia nn Maggie
Josephine nn Josie
Hate Savannah, its very popular too, I know about 5 here in town and 3 who have been named this in the past month. I have never liked this name. I'm not sure why but it's just not cute or pretty to me.
I like Amelia the best off your list. It is popular, but it's still very pretty and classy and you can call her Mia if you wanted as well.
I also like pp's suggestion of Wilhelmina nn Willa.
I really love the nn Millie, so I also have Melanie on my list. Some people may think it's a stretch, but Melanie nn Millie just makes sense to me.
ETA: That was if you were wanting a less popular name than Amelia.

Alexandra Lee nn Alex (I love this so much. So classic)
Savannah Lee nn??? I don't like Sav (I really like Savannah, and her nickname could be Vanna - this is my friend's daughter; not a fan of Sav, either)
Amelia Lee nn Milly (LOVE Amelia, do NOT like Milly. I'm prob in the minority though. I just really dislike it. The one I knew - that was her full name, not a nn - was a hyper, crazy child, so that might have something to do with it lol).
Really like Alexandra nn Alex too.
I prefer Susannah to Savannah.
