I love Mia or Mya but have friends with DD of these names... I like 2 syllables at most, 3 of can have good easy nn. Any ideas?

Phoebe.

It's feminine and pretty but also serious and unfrivolous. It could be for a girly girl or tomboy. It has a lovely meaning ("bright") and is generally a great girls name.

I like serious unfrivolous pretty names - in the same vein I like Alice, Beatrice, Antonia, Celia.

BriocheBriocheBrioche · 06/12/2013 17:28

I have a Margot, I think its strong and elegant! I used a softer more frilly middle name that balances out the hard G sound when you say the full name.
I also liked Martha and Tabitha but these don't work in French.
If you like Mia, how about Mila?

I've always thought Miriam was a great name for a girl, but we only make boys so never had the opportunity to use it

Was going to suggest Juno and Hazel but they've already been suggested.

Ursula nn Sula or Uschi, means Little bear.
