Looking for short girls names with a vintage flare: faves are Gwen, Nell, Lynn, Grace. We have family and friends who have already used Gwen, Nell and Grace for their children and feel they are too close to consider using too. Do you have any more suggestions along these lines please? Preferable one syllable but not ruling out any more if we love the name.

Forgot to add Maud! We could use this but my husband thinks it sounds sad 🙄 (when are men so hard to please 😂)

I agree with your dh - maud does sound sad! Probably because of the word maudlin....

@MsJuniper

Jean
Was just coming to suggest this.

I know a lovely Jean in her 20s, always thought it was a great name.
