atthestrokeoftwelve. It almost makes you wonder if your niece was reacting to her name! I don't think I could handle a name like that, and being rebellious, would go the opposite direction.

Perhaps Merry- her sister is called Tutu- and she has turned into a frilly sweet subserviant stepford wife.

A girl in my family has the prettiest name ever. I won't say what it is as people might know her. Suffice to say that you think of a little Tinkerbell-type child when you hear the name. So sweet and feminine and delicate.

Except that she is now a teenager, is gay, and is very, very butch. Which is fine, but the name doesn't suit her or her personality. It just shows that you never know how a child will turn out and you need to bear this in mind when choosing names.

It depends on personality....that would also be the difference between me and my dsis. Thankfully we both have normal names so we were not influenced. I can't believe someone in this world is called Tutu! Maybe people would think she was named after Desmond (here's hoping....)

Anything with -mae. Gracie-Mae seems like "that sort of name"

I can't say- they were born and live in another country. I met them only twice in the first 20 years olf their lives.

All the Lucy's I have known have been horrid spoilt little queen bee madams hence for me Lucy is not a " cute little girls name..

Sophie - (nearly) every one I have ever met, adults and children, are sweet, pretty, have a certain girliness about them!

Lucy too

Charlotte. I have one and she's a total tomboy. Insists on being called Charlie. ??

Other cute, pretty names,

Leonnie,
Kirsten,
Belle,
Phoebe,
Amelie

Artful

yep, I know two Charlottes, one I have always known as Charlie, the other is my friend's DD and now being a pre-teen started to prefer being called Charlie!

both are very strong-minded and although can look feminine they are not girlie to me.
