Hello!

Can anyone tell me of any girls names that mean "happy" or "joy"? I've found boys names that mean this but not girls!

I knew 3 Indian sisters called Sweetie, Happy, and, um, can't remember the other one.

So you could just call her Happy!

Allegra and Beatrice are really nice :)

Not sure about calling her 'Happy' though - has connotations of one of the seven dwarves perhaps..
