Short Names- HELP!

[namenerd]

I would love some short name suggestions for both genders to add to my list.I like fairly uncommon names that aren't too out there.

Short names I already like are:
Girls~ Erin, Isla, Ivy, Pippa, Maeve, Elsie, Mabel and Eden
Boys~ Ezra, Hugo, Otis, Ellis, Arlo, Jett, Levi, Cove and Quinn

Some of your list are on the rise quite rapidly, like Ivy and Ezra. I know kids with most of the names on your list.

Check out some of the baby name statistics sites (like babynamewizard and the U.K. versions) as an uncommon name now could be very common in a few years time.

If you like genuinely uncommon names, some of the old classics like Peter and Jane are rarer than a lot of the trendy newer names.

Yes not sure what you're envisaging by "uncommon" but for starters I'd at least avoid the entirety of the top 100

Girls
Pearl, Nina, Cora, Willa, Martha, Cleo, Wren

Boys
Kit, Cole, Otto, Idris, Eric, Sid, Nate, Angus, Eli, Ellis, Wilf

Ezra is really lovely though and if you don't mind the popularity it'd be a great name

I have Euan and Iona, no shortening and I’m Scottish so love traditional names.

On your lists I adore -

Arlo.

A few suggestions -
Thea
Marnie

Theo
Ernie
Max

Joy, Zoë, Cora

Rex, Quinn, Kit

Girls~ Erin, Isla, Ivy, Pippa, Maeve, Elsie, Mabel and Eden
All those are either popular or likely to be apart from Pippa

Boys~ Ezra, Hugo, Otis, Ellis, Arlo, Jett, Levi, Cove and Quinn
Only Cove is unusual and it's awful.

How about Red

Eli, Job, Bruno, Zac, Rio, Asa, Hal, Paul, Vaughn, Huw, Jai.

Mimi, Orla, Rosa, Gia, Venus, Tanith, Nula, Una, Wilma, Maura.

Isla is a beautiful name but it is one of the most used baby names at the moment so sounds like not what you’re after. It’s the third most used girls name after Olivia and Amelia.

Nice list, OP but a lot of those girls names are really popular (especially the girls names) I think Isla is top 3 most popular. Of your bouts list I really like Ezra, Otis and Arlo. Of your girls i think Maeve and Elsie are nicest. More suggestions below.

Boys
Otto, Finn, Casper, Kit, Nico, Milo

Girls
Lilah, Nina, Rosa, Romy, Mara, Alba, Reya

Some less used ones:

Jill, Ann, Kim, Gail

Mark, Paul, Alan, Carl

Tessa or Fern? Love suggestion of Sascha as well

Short as in # of syllables or # of letters or both? For e.g. is Spencer too long?

How about:
Lane, Joss, Nell, Gwen, Honey, Liz, Lynn, Tate, Becca, Lois, Autumn, Jen, Lumi, Zadie, Renee, Zana, Kay, Amy, Nala, Bryn, Roxy, Sage, Rhea, Mary, Ruby, Lucy, Lana, Viv, Cher, Blaire, Dove, Ida, Wren, Elle, Marie, Lola, Nia, June, Alba, Uma, Dana, Coral, Val.
