Any suggestions? Smile

There are loads.

What are you going for? Traditional? On trend? Strong? Soft?

What are your feelings about flower names like Lilly or nicknames like Katie as full names? No go?

There's not much point in lists of hundreds of names without more specific criteria - it takes less than 2 seconds to Google for a long list, none of which begin with Th: www.verywellfamily.com/

As I said not in top 100 so names like Katie and lily are a no go.

Or are you expecting someone else to cross reference a googled list of 2 syllable girls names with the top 100 girls names for you? Shock

MissHenty · 18/10/2019 08:29

@OceanPearl katie is well outside the top 100! It’s 187 and falling year on year

@Anothernotherone katie isn’t too 100 anyway. Op maybe check before you tell people they’ve got it wrong when it’s actually you that got it wrong

Katie is nearly outside the top 200 🤣

Katie isn't too 100, yet is unfussy and traditional. Some people would object to it used as a birth certificate name and some wouldn't.

@Anothernotherone yes I was agreeing with you. Katie is not in the top 100! @OceanPearl was wrong

OceanPearl · 18/10/2019 08:38

Where I live Katie is number 50 Smile

@OceanPearl so you’re not actually looking at the top 100 then. You’re working off your regional top 100 list where names can apparently jump around over 100 places! Perhaps it would be easier to show us the 100 names you want to avoid OP!

OceanPearl · 18/10/2019 08:39

@BigFatBloomers haha love bob!

Are there special names for short girls?

Anothernotherone · 18/10/2019 08:48

MissHenty yep sorry, I cross posted with you.

OceanPearl so you meant "not top 100 where I live" without telling anyone where you live ... Hmm

Anothernotherone · 18/10/2019 08:49

OhTheRoses oh that's what she meant! That's why she said "not starting with th" - Thumbalina has 4 syllables though...

Bobthefishermanswife · 18/10/2019 08:51
