Girl's name, two syllables, easy to spell

51 replies

LuxuryTrifle · 20/01/2015 03:35

Have read millions of lists but all the names we like are taken by others we know. Parameters are - two syllables, and easy to spell. We love flower names but Poppy and Holly and Rosie and Lily are all already taken. I love vowel-heavy names like Anwen, Arwen, Elsa (let it gooooo), Ella, Ailsa, Aoife, Tessa, Amy, Isla, Elsie ... But husband either dislikes them or they are already taken.... It's proving very tricky!

Any ideas welcome .... Sister has a very unusual long old Celtic name, v hard to spell and incredibly rare - and having learned from this experience we are keen to make this name easier to spell and shorter!

I love Hazel, but we are having a boy so I won't get to use it. Any good?

Not good with flower names do I've gone with your vowel-heavy brief!

So many beautiful names here! Thank you. Some have already been vetoed by virtue of knowing people who have used the name already (which is ruling out so many great names!). But I am going to go through these great lists with my husband - fingers crossed - keep them coming!

(I love Calla especially - flowery and vowely! Alas know a LO with that too.... Argh!)

And thoughts - husband said previously he thought Rowan was usually a boy's name - what do you think? I am fine with unisex names of the expectation is 50/50 but he said he thinks it's more used for boys
