Nina, Hope, Lois or Sylive/ Sylvia

[birdofthenorth]

Hi all

I am looking for a short, punchy girls name, preferably with a vintage feel.

What do you think of the above, and have you any suggestions?

Thanks!

Like Audrey too, I should say, any comments on that welcome too. Was Keenan Mabel but think I am chickening out of that one!

keen on Mabel, that should say!

I like Audrey. Lois is nice, but doesn't say vintage to me.
Don't like Nina, but like Sylvie/Sylvia.
Mabel says old lady to me.

I absolutely love Sylvia. Beautiful. Maybe Pearl is something else you'd consider?

Love Nina.

Lois...though biased
I have a Lois

But we call her Lolly

Not Sylvie, unless you're French!
Not keen on Lois - would make me think of Superman every time I heard it.

Sylvia is such a beautiful name.

I have decided that is what your daughter will be called. You may erase the other names from your list.

Kind regards,
Squoosh.

DD is Nina (yahboosucks to Solo). I only know excellent Ninas.

All your other names (apart from Mabel) were on our list of possibles. I think Lois rocks.

I love the name Nina!

nina's cool

I like Nina!

And love Audrey,always makes me think of Audrey Hepburn.

Nina is lovely. Is it meant to be short for anything?

Nina or Mabel are fab names and my faves from your list!

I love Sylvie, it is so pretty. If ds had been a girl, he would have been Sylvie.

i think they're all nice, but Lois is my favourite. :)

actually not so keen on Hope and prefer Sylvia to Sylvie.

I really wanted nina for dd but dh vetoed it. Also loved Lola which isn't on your list.

Nina is lovely!

I have a Nina

Lois :)

I really like all of them except Hope. Just makes me think of prem babies

I like them all except Sylvia. They are all punchy and retro. My order would be:

Nina
Lois
Sylvie
Hope (I also like Faith)

Ooh, a mixed bag of responses! Thanks all. More love for Nina than I thought. I really like it but DH is on the fence. Zilly I think on the continent it is often short for any name ending in Eena- Katerina, Marina etc. But I like it alone I think.

Molotov I adore Pearl but my awful DH says he can't get past the "pearl necklace" double entendre which has slightly spoilt it for me!!

Forgot to add I really don't like the name Hope (no offence to any mums who chose the name) - to me it seems tacky along with Faith, Destiny and the like.

Nina is cute but definitely prefer Lois. Sylvia/Sylvie - not keen.
