As the title suggests. Looking for short fiery, spirited, sprightly etc girls names. I like Max, Lucy. Got any more ideas? Smile

Darcey
Bonnie
Alicia
Clare (running through my Malory Towers mental list, will get onto Chalet School in a mo 🤣)
Jo (Josephine)
Frances
Judith
Edith
Belinda
Sally
Jill / Gillian

Seriously though, a few hearty girls’ school books ought to have the kind of name you’re looking for! (Make your way over to the Chalet School threads for more inspiration…?)

My god, did anyone else read the thread title thinking the OP was asking as “Spunky” for a girls name?!
I did! Blush

Lyra - the character in the Philip Pullman books is certainly spirited.

Oh sorry, I've suggested names for boys. For girls:

Zara
Vixen
Zena

ThisBloodyNoiseInMyHead · 11/03/2022 15:41

Max isn't a girl's name, it's for a) a dog or b) a boy who has a dog's name.

Lucy isn't particularly special.

How about:
Wolf
Jet
Prince
Cain
Harlow
Marlow
Marley

Weird criteria,

Are you in Aus?

Astrid

babyjellyfish · 11/03/2022 15:39

Er, well I wouldn't say either of those names fit your criteria.

Max is a boy's name and Lucy doesn't sound particularly fiery or spirited to me.

What about Zara?
