Cute but "spunky" baby girl name suggestions needed!

Okay, I have quite specific requirements for baby girl 2 but haven't come across "the one" yet.

I like: Amber, Phoebe, Matilda,

I like names that are easily spelled/pronounced, but not top 10, have a little bit of an edge and could stand the test of time. Ideally around 5-8 letters and not end in the letter Y.

I love the name Astrid.

Also like Cerys / Carys but some pronunciation issues with this if not in Wales.

i knew a Sylvie and she was cute and spunky and suites her name

Saskia is definitely spunky.

Baby Amber's are ten a penny round my way so that'll hit the top 50 next year no doubt!!

I also like Viva and Vida but maybe a bit out there.

In my imaginary life I would have a Sylvia with the nickname Viva

Totellyouthetruth · 23/11/2022 08:21

I don't think Amber, Phoebe or Matilda are spunky (but they are nice).

I always liked Sasha for a girl though I know its originally a boys name (nick name for Alexander). I think it has a certain energy.

Haven’t got any new names but just to stay if someone hasn’t come across it Maeve isn’t that easy to spell. OTOH it is quite a common (often used) name.

CakeCrumbs44 · 23/11/2022 07:55

The problem is "spunky" is so subjective. I would have said Matilda is the opposite of spunky but it depends on if you've met a Matilda before and her personality.

Do not call your daughter Tesla.
