but what if you don't have a sweet pretty little girl?
or even if you do, what when she grows up- a name is for life not just for christmas Grin

Emily, Helena.

I have a very 'sweet' name, I was the least girly girl in my class at school.

Daisy, Rosie, Molly, Molly, Gracie, Evie - those sort of 'cutesy' names.

Hmm I'd out myself totally if I went into details, but sweet and girly isn't the first thing that comes to mind knowing several of those lists.

SomethingkindaOod · 06/02/2014 18:08

My DD1 has a name on this thread, it wasn't chosen to be sweet and pretty, it's a family name we liked. It's a good job really because she isn't exactly a girly type girl at all! (Although she is quite pretty Grin)
If there's a tree she's up it, she detests having her hair brushed and hates pamper type parties beyond all measure.
The cute names I could think of are Chalet School/1950's boarding school book type names:

Loveday, Helena, that type of thing.

TheBuskersDog · 06/02/2014 18:12

Oh yes nocomet, I know girls with the OPs suggestions that definitely don't fit in the 'sweet' bracket, along with plenty of the other names posted.

Cutesy... Anything ending in ie or hyphenated with Mae / Belle. But maybe you could go for full name and cute short?

ApplesAndStares · 06/02/2014 18:24

Polly
Dora

Bear in mind that an adult woman might not what to have a name that makes people think of a sweet pretty little girly girl.

And she may be 6ft tall, 15 stone and be a farrier.

Mintymoomoo · 06/02/2014 19:04

Shallishsnti your totally right!

Reason I was asking is because in my experiance the only Lucy's and Alices I know are beautiful, girly loving people!

My first DD was going to be Lucy right up until the midwife passed her to me and said what's her name and I said I don't know and ndmed her 3 days later, she got a equally pretty name and is a stunning girl is also not a girly girl at all spent the first 5 years of her life naked in only weeklies digging up the garden and clubbing trees!!!!

Emma, Bella

Although I agree with poster who asks if you are certain you want a sweet name!?

schmalex · 06/02/2014 19:14

I'm glad no one has said my name. I would hate to have a sweet, pretty, girly name!
