Something 'cutesy' but uncommon

[MarieFromStMoritz]

I have always loved names like Daisy, Poppy, Molly, Lily, etc. However I want something slightly more unusual for our DD. Does anybody have any suggestions, please? Thanks.

Elsie
Edie
Sylvie
Rosa
Annie
Lyla
Daisy
Josie

I know a very cute little Pippa

pixie ?
not to my personal taste but certainly fulfils your cutesy but not popular brief

Betty
Cassie
Sylvie
Callie

But the reason I like these is because they all (except Sylvie) have a more grown up variant. Habe you considered that a teenager or middle aged woman might not want a babyish name

I like Connie as well

We're thinking about Elspeth nn Elsie. Really like Nancy too.

Sorry to those who've suggested it but mimi always sounds like a pet name for someone's fanjo to me (which is why we told DMIL that she couldn't be called that instead of nana!)

How about a bit of alliteration for cuteness? What does your surname begin with?

Elfie

cutesy may cut it when a widdle baby or toddler

but do you purposefully want to chose cutsey name that one has to grow into

the words unusual associated with baby names always make me think oh dear god..i then expect badly spelt/obvious or just try too hard

out of interest why do you want a cutsey name
do you instinctively think girls get cutesy names, as opposed to non cutesy?

DoctorDWT - are yours all nicknames for fanjo? Just wondered, given your MN name, if you are a real doctor you probably hear a lot of them.

Yummymummybee, is that you?!

SilkStalkings, our surname is very long and very stern sounding. Which is probably one reason why I am looking for something pretty and cutesy, to balance it out.

Actually, talking of fanjo names, I think Fanny is a beautiful name. Very twenties.

Matilda, nn Tillie or Tilda
Katherine, nn Kitty
Margaret, nn Maggie
Elizabeth, nn Lizzie, Betty, Betsy, Bette, Libby
Letitia, nn Lettie
Charlotte, nn Lottie, Charley
Abigail nn Abby, Gail
Alexandra nn Ally, Alex, Alix
Theadora nn Thea, Dora, Dory
Annabel nn Anna, Annie, Belle
Rosemary nn Rosie, Romy, Rose

You could choose a more dignified name and use a nice nn, then when she grows older she could choose...

Effie
Sephy

Marnie
Amelie
Dulcie
Naomi
Louella
Lila
Posy

There are some really lovely suggestions here, I am compiling a shortlist. Please keep them coming

Are you absolutely sure your Emo teenager or your kick- ass criminal barrister adult daughter will thank you for a cutesy name?

seeker, I don't think the names suggested here would be inappropriate for a lawyer, tbh. And the only emo girl I know has a very cutesy name. And it suits her.

Ha ha, I'm a lawyer and people with unusual names on their practising certificate get mercilessly ribbed about it - full names, including all those cringeworthy family middle names, have to be displayed in full :) To be fair it's usually only the blokes with really daft names!

Anyway, my suggestion is Eloise. Has anyone suggested Kitty or Norah?

At least give her a serious long name.

Penelope (Penny)
Catherine (kitty)
Sarah. (Sally)
Margaret (Daisy)

How about Sidonie?

I think Felicity is lovely, and Fliss is a cute nn

Pheobe

Nancy

Both could be carried off by a criminal Barister IMO
