Josephine nn Josie makes me swoon!
This was my suggestion, too. And I didn't read through all the responses, so these may be duplicates Evelyn nn Evie (though wouldn't go so great w Marilyn) Frances nn Frankie Ellen nn Nell And my absolute fav, though probably not from the right era, Zelda nn Elle

:x

Zelda's definitely from the right era!

...I know because there's one buried in that cemetery who was born around 1900...

I just love that name so much! It was between Briar, Zelda, and Hollis for us... obviously Briar won out, but I would've been happy with any

Lol, but Vada and Veda were on the SS list in the late 1800/early 1900s. Kind of a stretch but you could even call her Edie for short.

I love the name Matilda, but my DH vetoed it. Tillie would be such a cute nickname. Winnie and Tillie.

ETA: A friend of mine named her daughter Thea (The-ah), which is also a great old fashioned name, although it doesn't lend itself well to nicknames.

You could always go with Theodora as the full name, and use Thea as the nn

Is it wrong that I love Matilda/Tillie so they could both have a book character with their name?

You have gotten so many great suggestions, I almost wish I wasn't done so I could use some of these names, ha! I love Matilda/Tillie, Pippi, Hattie (there is one in DS Kindgergarten class!) I know you'll have an awesome name to go with Winnie.
