Names of little girly girls you know of?

Hi all,

I am really drawn to names that are very feminine, frilly, princess like. And those kind of names have me imagining a four year old that's very girly girl.

However, I realise there are tomboys out there with pretty dainty names such as Lily and Emily.

So I am curious, what are the names of little girls you know who are very girly? :)

Thanks to most of you for indulging my curiosity.
I agree with you Whispers and since obviously got nothing against little girls being gifly, playing with Barbies and liking pink etc, I am sure she will. My preference is a little princess but there is nothing wrong with tomboys. At the end of the day, all that really matters is that she grows into a woman that has manners and a lovely attitude rather than an ugly, harsh rude personality ;)

And yes Primrose is gorgeous, not sure about Prim but Rose/Rosie as a nickname is gorgeous :)

Ella, Niamh & Millie.

TBH, if you want her to be girly, she probably will be! The clothes you buy her, the toys you buy her, the language you use with her will all have a massive influence on what she enjoys in the early years.

What a depressing thread

EstelleGetty · 10/07/2013 17:02

Lily, Evie and Niamh are all little girly girls I know.

I know a Maisie and an Emily who are absolutely not girly girls.

There's nothing actually wrong with being a tomboy. But if you don't want one I'm pretty sure that calling her Little-Baby-Pinkie-Daisypants won't make any difference.

MrsOakenshield · 10/07/2013 11:12

There is a Grace at DD's nursery who is also far from graceful!

DD is a bit girly I suppose (dresses and dolls) and she's Ella. Don't know any adult women who I would call girly.

I agree with the poster who said Primrose is a lovely name - I while back I read David Niven's biography, The Moon's A Balloon, which is fantastic. What a life! His wife was called Primrose, Primmie for short. She died tragically young and he loved her so much. It made me like the name. Sorry to be irrelevant....

NigellasGuest · 10/07/2013 10:50

I know a very girly Sienna

Wishing I'd called her Charlie now, tho

KnittedWaffle · 10/07/2013 02:36

What constitutes 'girly'?
My DD (4) is Ella and she will only wear dresses, loves pink, princesses, fairies, babies, ballet and buying clothes and shoes.

She also loves making mud pies, climbing trees/monkey bars (in her dresses), motorbikes, scooters, Power Rangers and talking about poo. Grin

WafflyVersatile · 10/07/2013 02:24

I don't think that's unfortunate. I like it a lot.

Catriona will only wear dresses she can twirl in.jeans are the enemy.

HerRoyalNotness · 10/07/2013 01:35

Scarlett Mae. With the unfortunate last name of H icks

Very girly, handbags at dawn, coordinated shoes, the whole shebang
