Vintage nicknames for girls feel new again. Many modern parents are choosing to forgo traditional full forms and put an old-fashioned nickname on the birth certificate instead. Elsie, Winnie, and Millie outrank their more formal counterparts, Elsa, Winifred, and Mildred.
<br></br>
Along with Elsie and Millie, other vintage nicknames for girls in the US Top 1000 include Maisie, Nellie, Josie, Emmy, Belle, Evie, Hattie, and Rosie. You may not have heard of vintage nicknames such as Floy, Ibby, Sudie, and Winnet, which are all but forgotten, though could stand to be revived.
