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

I think Giselle works. It's fiesty, with a 'spunky' nickname.

I think it’s the opposite! Tragic girl with weak heart who throws it all away for the luuurve of someone who doesn’t deserve her!

I'd go vintage or scandi.

Thora or Hilda

Both fab

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/03/2022 21:33

Lucy is a bit wet..

Arran, Astra, Hero, Juno, Cleo, Astra, Vita, Thora, Astrid, Gwen, Jean, Zelda, Oona, Jocelyn, or Vivienne, Ramona, Olympia, Gwendoline if you are open to longer names

@Pyri

My god, did anyone else read the thread title thinking the OP was asking as “Spunky” for a girls name?!
Me!

@GlitteryGreen

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.

So boys’ names?
KirstenBlest · 11/03/2022 21:46

@donquixotedelamancha, none of those are 1 or 2 syllables

How about Jizzbelle, Simenne, Phlooid, Cumbelle, Jaclette?

KirstenBlest · 11/03/2022 21:47

I think Jaclette would be better spelt as Jacqlette

@Luredbyapomegranate They're not exclusively boys names, they are all unisex and many girls have these names.

wheresthecalpol · 11/03/2022 22:02

Amber
Ember

mswales · 11/03/2022 22:03

I love Max for a girl too but didn't like Maxine and decided against it in the end. I also wanted something strong and sparky. Some of the others on my list were:
Rae/Raya
Rowan
Sid (Sidney or Cressida)
Ted (Theodora)
Sadie
Sukie
Cora
Bess
Margot
Hester
Astrid
Remi
Quinn

So many great names, every single one vetoed by my partner!

villamariavintrapp · 11/03/2022 22:06

@GlitteryGreen they are boys names, although people do use them for girls now.

Oy vey! She's 19! Constructive criticism is acceptable but some of you are being downright catty to a pregnant teenager.

Constructive criticism is criticism given with a compassionate and helpful attitude while DESTRUCTIVE criticism is criticism given with the intention to harm or insult someone.

daisypond · 11/03/2022 22:22

Who’s19? What are you talking about?

You’re thinking of baby Apricot

I don’t think spunky mum is 19’

Yep. There’s nothing wrong with them individually, but if that’s all you got on your list, it is just a bunch of boys names

TheHoptimist · 11/03/2022 22:39

@KirstenBlest

Surnames as first names are trendy so how about Seaman?
Very Good

Surname Staines
