Fern

[OopsyMama]

What do you think of Fern? Which spelling would you use? Fearne, Ferne or Fern?

Other options for something short, I am open to. Others I like are Maude and Nell.

If you like Joy, what about Hope?

Fern is lovely. I like Joy too, but prefer Fern.

Love Fern. Simple and pretty.

Lovely, with that spelling. I also know a little Fenn

Love Fern. It was my alternative for DD, whose name is...Tess :)

DH marginally preferred Tess so we went with that, but I dream of another girl to name Fern. Our other choices were Maeve and Penny.

I have a Dd called Fern everyone comments on how lovely her name is and it so suits her 😍

I like all your names. Fern is lovely, as are Tess and Nell. How about Fay/Faye as another similarly styled short name?

Love Fern and love Tess...
Beth and June are the only other one syllables girls names that spring to mind.

I really love Faye too! That's definitely along the same vein of names I like

@OopsyMama Pretty ♥️ I actually prefer Nell from your list (On my list!) but Fern I’d imagine will be lesser used while not being wacky. I love one syllable names, my favourite of all is Eve but probably too popular for you. Also like Bea, Jeane, Hope, Faith, Pearl, Tess, Bess, Gwen.

Other suggestions - Jane, Joy, Maeve.

Definitely Fern 😍

I have a relative called Fern whose in her 30s now. It's a lovely name and she spells it's that way too.

I hate newly made up names like Wren, too trendy.
Fern is a classic and underused name.

Fern as it is, is a lovely name, would go for it!
