Girl names not ending in “y” “a” or “Er” to go with

Surname Coo per (space was deliberate)

Names like Harper and Piper definitely out and I even find Ava and Isla don’t quite go, it seems like I trip over my tongue when forename/surname are said together.

As a rule I don’t like “y” or “ee” sounding names with the exception of Lucy, Phoebe and Ruby. Those have all been vetoed for various reasons, with the exception of Ruby; however middle name will be Rose to honor both grandmothers. Is Ruby Rose a bit too much? It is isn’t it?

Was thinking potentially names ending in M or N ... or another consonant.

Personally not keen on “ette” names or “Elle”

Discounted so far:

Tatum
Payton (apparently too close to Satan)
Morgan
Teagan
Any ette endings

What a pain I am... please do your worst Grin

FairfaxAikman · 16/06/2020 11:29

Whoops, Ivy obviously ends in a Y

Orphlids · 16/06/2020 11:30

Cadence? Sounds quite cool with your surname.

Rachel
Violet
Blanche
Faye
Frances
Marion
Maureen (long overdue a revival)
Daphne
Caroline
Karen (this name badly needs rehabilitating)
Tracy

BigGlasses · 16/06/2020 11:34

June
Grace
Caroline
Karen
Rachel
Hazel (those these last 2 end in the elle sound)

They are all quite old fashioned or dated a bit. These days there is more of a trend towards very feminine names which all tend to be ee/y/ie, a/ia/ah, or elle sounding ends.

Ruth
Tess
Beth

Changedname81 · 16/06/2020 11:36

Some of these are a bit too “mum and mums friends” to me. Fine names but not to my taste.

So far I like

Elowen
Cadence (does she sound like a super hero though)
Pearl
Faye

Surely I couldn’t have Alice? Confused

Katrin

TheDropBear · 16/06/2020 11:43

Not sure if you're aware but Ruby Rose is a US actress so even though middle names aren't used often I'd avoid it on that basis.
