I'd like some ideas for strong-sounding girls names with consonant endings.

So far I have:

Amber
Greer
Clover
Delilah
Jennifer
Cerys
Meredith
Skyler
Tanith
Nevis

I dont like:

Esther, Beth/Elizabeth, Eleanor, Edith, Ruth, so nothing of this ilk please.

I love Marianne and Vivien, but they end in N.

From your list I really like Meredith. I also, quite ike Gwyneth, but is it usable? Does Gwynnie make it unusable?

I don't think the names that end in 'r' or 'y' or 'h' etc sound that strong, and are more like vowel ending names when spoken out loud.

Love Juliet and Artmeis, Harriet is nice too.

How about Garnet as a jewel name that isn't Ruby / Amber andhas a strong ending?

Agree with lola I don't think the -er, h, y names give a strong sounding ending (Amber, Clover, Skyler) tbh if that's what you are looking for.

Niamh.

Rosalind

stressheaderic · 21/07/2010 17:18

Is this to avoid a run-in to a vowel-starting surname?
If so, we had this issue and had Juliet, Harriet, Lauren, Nell and Beth on our shortlist. Went for Beth in the end - I know you dont like it though.

KateF · 21/07/2010 18:14

Susannah, Heather, Hazel, Rowan, Madison, Lauren, Laurel, Rosalind/Rosamund, Catherine, Rachel
