Girls’ names, 1 or 2 syllables, no nickname...

Ideas please! Girls’ names of 1 or 2 syllables that don’t have obvious nn or shortenings as my family doesn’t really like shortening names (particularly my parents!)

Also ideally outside the top 30 or so... We love Grace, but I’m worried it’s too popular.

Surname is H and not keen on alliteration either, so not H names. And generally prefer more classic names eg Grace, Lucy, Anna...

Oh, I’m not mad on nicknames either! It’s been ingrained in me!

Thanks for your fav suggestions so far, will get looking into them!

Without wanting to derail, why does it matter what your parents think? What do you think about nicknames?

Emse was obviously supposed to be Esme! Oops
