However, using nicknames is a popular thing to do, so you may not end up calling her by her given name.

Baby girl nicknames: Anything goes — just about
You could come up with any baked good, flower, cartoon character, or really any word and turn it into a baby nickname as long as you say it in a childlike voice. Most of these nicknames will only stick around for babyhood but be careful — you don’t necessarily want Pork Chop or Stinker to be the nickname that sticks! Don’t let that hold you back from letting this be the time to experiment with lots of different nicknames at home, though.
You have so much time to talk to your baby, so they get that great language development from listening to you, so call them all the silly names you want and see what makes them laugh. If a nickname based on their name or personality ends up sticking for life, it could turn into something wonderful.
