As the title suggests. Looking for short fiery, spirited, sprightly etc girls names. I like Max, Lucy. Got any more ideas? Smile

Lucy doesn't sound spunky to me and Max on a girl is sort of odd.

Pippa is the first one that comes to mind when I hear spunky but I dislike it.

Surnames as first names are trendy so how about Seaman?

@KirstenBlest

I;don’t think you are taking this request seriously!

HappeeInParis · 11/03/2022 18:27

Unlike PP I do find Lucy a spunky name because it reminds me of brave Lucy from TLTWATW.

Patty or Patti. Don't get much more spunky than Patti Smith!

Exie. I worked with a woman named Exie, and it was her given name, not a nickname. She was in her late 50's when I knew her about 15 years ago. Lovely woman, and because she was so lovely I love her name.

LemonsLimes · 11/03/2022 19:36

Agree with stella

Jupiter is nice it has an edge to it not Juniper.

@babyjellyfish

Er, well I wouldn't say either of those names fit your criteria.

Max is a boy's name and Lucy doesn't sound particularly fiery or spirited to me.

What about Zara?

Max isn't a boys name, Maxine nn Max is super trendy

There was a thread on cool girls names if you can find it ... I liked Luna

Cleo, Clemmie, Ava, Izzy, indie, Aara, Mia, Zia, nell, zara

I think I know what you mean @NOTANOTHERTRUECRIMEPODCAST.

I prefer less frilly names for girls too, and so far my preferred are Frankie, Rowan, Stevie, Robin, Billie and Georgie.
