I'm really stuck for some girls names, my favourites are below but I can't use them (reasons also listed next to it). Anything similar which you can think of? 🥰

Winnie (surname is similar to Walker, we think Winnie Walker sounds a little odd)

Isabella/Izzy (Deceased sisters name, thinking of having as a middle name in her honour. She passed when I was very young).

Charlotte/Lottie (My dads ex wife's name!)

Daphne (A joke name in DP family)

Olivia (DP is called Oliver, we think too similar)

I like Cindy and Maisy but DP is not keen on the shortness of them.

Please help, any names we like seem to be a no go. We prefer the older more traditional longer names that can be shortened to something equally as sweet.

I have an Elizabeth (nearly a teen now!) and known as Lizzie. Other Elizabeths about known as libby, bess, Eliza etc so plenty of options and people do stick to it rather than go off piste with her shortening.

I also liked Katherine, Annabel, Dolores (I once met one as a child who went by the nn Dog, which we all loved 😄), and Johanna.

If you like Cindy but feel it's too short then what about Lucinda?

Think Ottilie nickname Tilly is really sweet. Or perhaps Matilda.

And if you like Charlotte, I know two with sisters called Sophie. So you may like that! And if you love Isabella there is Annabelle, Isadora, Arabella etc.
