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.

How about Elizabeth? Endless cutesy nicknames and I've never met a baby Elizabeth (and my DDs are 4 and 2 so we know a lot of little girls!)

Generally speaking, I prefer a long name which can have a cute nickname.

eg DD gets called Wren a lot but it isn't her name and she is a big galumphing monster of a child

Elsa - if you like Elsie but want something more uncommon. I like Livvy for Olivia too. And Lottie

Silks - no just having a silly moment!! - evidently started off with fairly normal and quickly got to the mad end of cutesy... Like Bliss, though...

Mabel nn Maybe? Was my first choice for dd2 but dh vetoed.

Or what about Blythe?

Betsy and Betty - I love both a lot and they could be Elizabeth (which I think is so amazing and timeless) and then be either of those for nn, thus solving the barrister issue

if you want to have unusual names I would check out the top 100 names

Jasmine and Elsie Jasmine is no 49 and Elsie 94th according to http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2079429/Top-100-UK-baby-names-Harry-beats-Oliver-Olivia-girls-chart.html this

Blythe is lovely. What a great name - never thought of it before

We have a Beatrice, nn Bessie. I like Louisa, nn LouLou too...

We sometimes pick barristers for their stupid names. Mr T.Otty gets a lot of work from my team

Martha is gorgeous.

I knew a Blythe in school, i've always loved it.

Would Tess fit the bill?

I currently like;
Indy
India
Indra
Indianna
Nina
Bonny
Paget
Payton

Purtunia
tulip
blossom
ivy may
marle
ffion
roseanne
rosalie

Giselle

I always loved the name Kitty

So I'll say..

Kitty

I can see both sides of the fluffy nn vs Sunday Best debate.

We called our DC1 'Baby' to her face til DC2 was born. In this light I had thought why not just name DC2 Honey if it's a girl, cut out the middle man. Honey turned out to have a winkie so it was not to be.
On the other hand, if I was wrongly accused of a crime and my barrister was called Honey or Betsy, I might not have quite the same faith in her, as perhaps a Felicity or an Elizabeth. Shallow and prejudiced perhaps, but human nature to make ill-informed judgements.

My 3 favourite girls' names... one of them is mine .

I used to be at school with a sweet girl called Felicity. Her parents called her 'Flick' for short but at school we insisted on calling her 'Knife'.

Shockers I LOVE Pippi, as in Longstocking
