Girls’ names, 1 or 2 syllables, no nickname...

[BB2018]

Ideas please! Girls’ names of 1 or 2 syllables that don’t have obvious nn or shortenings as my family doesn’t really like shortening names (particularly my parents!)

Also ideally outside the top 30 or so... We love Grace, but I’m worried it’s too popular.

Surname is H and not keen on alliteration either, so not H names. And generally prefer more classic names eg Grace, Lucy, Anna...

Thank you so much for all your suggestions! I’ve got a good list of new ideas to discuss with DH!

And for those who pointed out that no name needs to be shortened/any name can be made into a nickname, thank you. I’m aware of this, I’m just looking for names without ‘obvious’ shortenings. Eg I love Eleanor but not sure about Ellie so probably will avoid because, even if we don’t use it, some people will use that automatically.

Dawn. Faye. Lynn. Maud. Elle.

Lots of people in my family get their names shortened to first letter, my DP's must wonder why they bothered
