Hi, I'm 28 weeks pregnant and just found out we're having a girl and would really like a name that is strong and feisty - she never stops moving and trying to kick her way out of my tummy and has already caused a few dramas :)

I would like a first and middle name that are quite feisty...nothing too traditional or too popular.

TIA

My DD wriggled and kicked and punched har way through my pregnancy. I would wake up not knowing whether the bump would be front or back!

Now 2.6 she IS downright fiesty.

Well of course she doesn't know she's going to be feisty, but it's as good a reason as any other random name choosing method. Don't piddle on her bonfire ladies.

Loving Freya!!

But agree with BalloonSlayer - you don't know she is going to be Feisty!!

My pregancy with Ds was quite eventful - he caused some scares along the way. He also never stopped kicking, sat the wrong way, caused me all sorts of grief. Labour with him was a nightmare. He was upside down and back to front and determined not go come out.

He is the most placid laid back boy you could wish to meet.

By contrast, pregnancy and birth with Dd were so easy. She kicked but not excessively. Not a worry, everything lovely, a relatively fast and very straightforward labour.

She is one stroppy, headstrong and forceful little madam!

You don't know she's going to be Feisty.

(My Mum used to snigger about a man at her work called Garth. We used to get the Daily Mirror at the time and Garth was the eponymous hero of a comic strip, with incredible muscles and heroism etc. The one she worked with was about seven stone dripping wet. But perhaps he kicked a lot in the womb.)

Some ideas here?

I am with you on Sarah IslaValargeone!

I have an ex GF called Harriet and she was a very feisty lady! But then my perception of the name just comes from her?

Maybe what ever you want to call her and she turns out to be as fiesty as you expect someone will be saying in a few years I was at school with a 'misfitmum jr' and she was fab and really feisty!

I bet some of my team from work say they know a cowboylover and shes is real fussy cow! Smile

myredcardigan · 15/03/2011 17:05

I think that's the thing. It really depends with whom you associate the name.

Tillyscoutsmum · 15/03/2011 17:01

My Matilda is feisty. My Scarlett isn't. I think Stella is a strong feisty name

IslaValargeone · 15/03/2011 16:56

Really? my judgement is obviously clouded by only knowing Sarahs who are wishy washy.

myredcardigan · 15/03/2011 16:52

I didn't suggest Sarah but I do think it's quite a strong name.

IslaValargeone · 15/03/2011 16:50

Is it just me who is a bit Hmm at what people think are feisty names? I mean...Sarah come on.

jenniferturkington · 15/03/2011 16:34

I third Harriet nn Hattie. I have one and feisty is certainly one way of describing her!

I know Elizabeth is quite traditional but we call our Elizabeth, Lizzie and she is very, very feisty.

In fact, the 2 other Lizzies we know are just the same. Smile

I always think of Kate as quite a feisty girls' name.

Sorry very childish....

Freya gets refered to as a girly name on here but if you read th mythology Freya was one kick ass feminist hero. She was beautiful, strong, principled and fair but she stood for no rubbish from her brothers/other Gods at all. The Vikings only had 2 major goddesses, Frigg was the goddess of hearth and home, Freya got all the good stuff, love, sex, fertility, and pick of the dead heroes to live in her hall (the Viking afterlife). A feisty one with a different but not odd name has to be a Freya every time!
