Nicknames I am tossing around now:
Tave - is VERY similar to the Dutch sound for the word for b*tch, so from me a definate: NO!
Tavy / Tavie -I think Tavie is kinda cute. Tavy looks too navy for me.
Davy /
Davie - I'f prefer Tavie then.
Cate - too much of a stretch
Kit - nah...
Tock - doesn't that sound like what sportsmen wear to protect their... you know..
Tocky - no!
Ticky - sounds a lot like dicky, I don't like it
Cat / Caddy - Cat = an animal, so nms. Caddy helps a golfer, so no.
Teevie - you mean like: TV?!
Vivi - I'd prefer Vivia / Tavia
Viva, Vee - me neither :)
Vita - nah..
Otta - nms
Ottie - could grow on me...
One I'm missing on your list is:
Tia, or
Avi / Avie / Avy (pron. like how I say
Evie, AY-vee), or Otia? Ovia? Taia? can't think of anything else decent at the moment..
I prefer
Minnie over
Mimi (by far),
Bobby is way too much of a stretch for me. Caddy is nms, I don't see it as a nice nn for
Cordelia either.
