Cool/tom boy/no frills - girls names

[Pippathenippa]

Appreciate this style isn’t to everyone’s taste & ‘you won’t know what she’ll be like’ has been thrown around but then you don’t know if she’ll be sickly sweet when you call a little girl daisy? You may recognise me from the Connie or Frankie thread! I still feel like I’m looking for that perfect cool name for our second little girl! Please give me all your amazing suggestions, you’ve all been so helpful so far!

Also there's nothing progressive about thinking girls are so uncool they need boys' names.

cross yes, no doubt (been there, done that, got the T shirt!) but having a deliberately obtuse name is just annoying. My dad spelt my middle name in an unusual (though accepted) way and I have spent a lifetime having to return official documents as they've gone for the usual spelling. It's just a pain in the arse. And that's just a middle name!

Yes all things girl are just fucking awful aren't they.

“Audrey was once asexual“

Do you mean Aubrey?

And no it wasn’t. It was a boy’s name that started to be used for girls and was then dropped like a hot brick for boys. Because having a name even remotely associated with girls makes boys’ willies drop off. True fact.

Skye
Morven, or Morvern, if she has a bit of Scots
Jude

The lady doctored in Scrubs was called Elliot wasn't she? Not sure if it would be a different spelling.
I could never use it as one of my best friends is a (male) Elliot and would think it was all about him though lol.

I know or have known of: Toni, Bob (Roberta though I think), Billie, Jaq, Juda, Lou. They aren't my favourite names but I don't think they're "girly".
I think the way you see a name is quite influenced by people you know who have it so it's unlikely everyone would agree.

lady doctor. ffs.

names cannot be asexual, but they can be unisex.

“names cannot be asexual, but they can be unisex”

They practically never are. Most “unisex” names are boys names girls use and which rapidly stop being boy’s names.

Eden and Morgan seem to be unisex these days.

Piper?
All the tomboys I know are called Anna (3 of them) or Sophie!

I agree Bertrand.
Leigh/Lee is unisex, but seems dated.
Lindsay was very popular for girls in my age group
Riley is very popular as a girl's name now.

I think it is unfair to give a girl a boy's name.

Dale/Dayle

What about a name that could be either?

So maybe Leonora... Leo for short? Then dependant on her persoality she can use the longer version or the shorter version.

Failing that I really like

Most “unisex” names are boys names girls use and which rapidly stop being boy’s names. And then quickly become unfashionable because girls, meaning the bearer's age can be easily pinpointed for the rest of her life

Giving a girl a masculine name because only then can she be "cool" is shite.
