bloomin noun as surname...what's similar to these veto'd names...

[TandTandTTC]

Surname similar to Shortman (!) Love these names as I think they don't sound made up, but aren't too popular! However...

Thea Shortman - see a short man, with a lisp
Serena Shortman- seen a short man,
Leonie Shortman- (i am) the only short man!

Grr! Oh my poor mythical baby that I can not yet conceive! Can't find a name I love tho!

[dunmoanin]

Iona Shortman - I own a short man
Isla Shortman - Isle of short men

Are we making jokes or are you really wanting serious suggestions? I can't stop thinking up combinations now!

I have a friend with the surname Blows. I mean, nothing goes with that at all!

Umm...

I think names not ending in "a" go best :)

Ivana Shortman?

Those tall ones are just to darned high up.

Just kidding. How about

Kate, Felicity, Rosie, Sally, Violet, Iris.

I don't think any of your three names in your original post sound remotely like what you've put in brackets, so I would go for one of them.

Thea Shortman, see a shortman? really???

[mathanxiety]

Doh, thought you wanted similarly funny names....

[SilkStalkings]

Serena Shortman is fine I reckon.
Similar names: Marina, Karenza, Celia, Lena, Alithea (Aleethea)

[seeksnewnamewithgsoh]

I like Leona, Phobe and Violet so far.
