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!

Nina makes me think of the wonderful Nina Simone.

Love Sylvie and Sylvia too.

Really not keen on Hope, sorry.

I couldn't call a kid Sylvia - what if the other kids shortened it to Sylve! Sounds like a hairy chinned great auntie!

Nina is the noise a fire engine makes (nee-nah, nee-nah, nee-nah.)

Lois is dull. Hope is duller.

Sylvie is nice, as is Sylvia.

I like Mabel a lot.

Audrey is gorgeous.

May I suggest Agnes?

Nina.
Sylvia.
Hope.
Lois.

All beautiful choices.
(But not Hope. I don't like Hope.)

I love all of them. Classic and pretty without being twee or overused. Sylvie is my favourite, or Nina. Can't decide.

Love Mabel & Audrey.

Like Nina & Hope.

Don't mind Lois. Think I'd like it if I met one.

Can't get my head around the appeal of Sylvia. Makes me think of a spoilt little girl I saw in Centerparcs who was receiving a stern dressing down by her mummy.

Other vintage names you might like: Ada, Adeline, Agnes, Augusta, Bessie, Bonnie, Celia, Clara, Cora, Dinah, Dorothy, Edith, Enid, Gloria, Honor, Iris, Ivy, Judith, Lillian, Louisa, Lucille, Marcie, Margot, Maud, Muriel, Nancy, Pearl, Rosetta, Sadie, Sybil, Vera, Verity, Willa, Winifred, Zelda.

Dita
Honor
Nancy
Ava
Bette

All spring to mind for short, punchy, vintage.
