Oh, sorry - I meant to say - I know those names are not short but they lend themselves to lots of short nicknames!

I wouldn't say any of the names on your list were classic - except Lucy, and Charlotte, but that's quite long.
Pearl.
Lily.
Grace.
Hope.
Faith.
Olive.
Sara.
Lana.

So what sort of your names does your DP like? It would be very helpful if he could suggest some as it would give us more to go on.

I have the shortest girl's name that it's possible to have, and it still hasn't shown up here. It's never on these threads. Mind you, I'd not have picked it either!

I like Georgia.

Io

Ancient Greek: Ἰώ [iːɔ̌ː]) was, in Greek mythology, one of the mortal lovers of Zeus. She was an ancestor of many kings and heroes such as Perseus, Cadmus, Heracles, Minos, Lynceus, Cepheus, and Danaus. The astronomer Simon Marius named a moon of Jupiter after Io in 1614.

I think the majority the suggestions in your list don't class as classic. I would say Lucy is about the only 'classic' name on there. If your dp doesn't like suggestions so far, what does he suggest?

Jo?

Kate?

Spot on Tatiana

When he said classic he meant more ‘a name in general usage’ not an ancient name.

Ie for a boy he likes David!

Erin is his top choice but I don’t really like it.

I like David, not keen on Dave.
Erin - it's nice.
