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.

Great suggestions, from those so far I like Tess, Joy, Fern, May and LOVE Joss!! Haven't heard that since Joss Stone and it sounds so lovely. Food for thought.

Any other similar, post away, need all the help I can get!
