bloomin noun as surname...what's similar to these veto'd names...

[TandTandTTC]

Surname similar to Shortman (!) Love these names as I think they don't sound made up, but aren't too popular! However...

Thea Shortman - see a short man, with a lisp
Serena Shortman- seen a short man,
Leonie Shortman- (i am) the only short man!

Grr! Oh my poor mythical baby that I can not yet conceive! Can't find a name I love tho!

Iona Shortman - I own a short man
Isla Shortman - Isle of short men

Are we making jokes or are you really wanting serious suggestions? I can't stop thinking up combinations now!

I have a friend with the surname Blows. I mean, nothing goes with that at all!

Isabella Shortman (Answer on a postcard please)

I know it's not your question, but I know a Hughes who wants to call their mythical, unconceived son Bruce Wade

Umm...

Orla Shortman - all the short men ?

I will try and think of some serious ones

How about Leona, or Leonie pn Lee-un-ee instead of Lee-own-ee?

Abigail Shortman
Phoebe Shortman
Emily Shortman
Jennifer Shortman
Annabel Shortman
Josephine Shortman
Katherine Shortman
Jessica Shortman
Sophie Shortman
Nicole Shortman

NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not joke names!! Replacements for the ones I love but can't use!!

Hmmm do like Nicole, but don't LOVE it!! Thanks slogan! (and others!)

I think names not ending in "a" go best :)

Ivana Shortman?

Those tall ones are just to darned high up.

Just kidding. How about

Kate, Felicity, Rosie, Sally, Violet, Iris.

I don't think any of your three names in your original post sound remotely like what you've put in brackets, so I would go for one of them.

Thea Shortman, see a shortman? really???

Doh, thought you wanted similarly funny names....

Serena Shortman is fine I reckon.
Similar names: Marina, Karenza, Celia, Lena, Alithea (Aleethea)

I like Leona, Phobe and Violet so far.

Amelia?

Ahem. Phoebe. Not Phobe

Thalia, Talitha, Alethea?

Sabrina, Selena, Helena, Ellen?

Leonora?

Seren
Ceren
Davina

but

Shirley Shortman sounds fab!
