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!

Estelle?
It seems to fit your criteria and it means "star", so not too far removed from your flower/nature theme.
Astrid is also nice and has the same meaning, but not quite as gentle sounding.

Two that fit the flower/tree thing, are vowel heavy and have the added bonus of being Celtic:
Elowen (Cornish for elm tree)
Eirlys (Welsh for snowdrop)
