Please no chav.

No Blaze,Courtney-May, Minky-Rae etc.

My daughter already does not suit her name it is far to gentle for her even dh agrees (I am amazed by this) but I am flummoxed as to what we could call her instead as we had Nell, Annie, Constance and Dolly on our lists and neither of them fit either.

Any suggestions would be very welcomed, I really want to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later I think we have 5 weeks before we can't change it officially.

Sorry. I'm sure you hate all my choices and I don't mind.

Kat (well Katherine obv, shortened to Kat, in case she ends up winsom and dreamy as she gorws up)

Or Scarlett

Or anything that can be shortened to a boy-sounding name - Jess(ica), Max(ine), etc

Or Freya maybe

Alanis

Nbg · 19/02/2008 09:43

Meredith
Eva
Araminta, shortened to Minty (I love this)
Claudia
Elise
Rosalie

I think Nell is a good name.

OliviaMumsnet · 19/02/2008 09:43

Jaime (pronouced Jamie)?

PotPourri · 19/02/2008 09:43

Brook, Joanna, Alexandra, Charlotte (charlie), Matilda (Tilly or Mattie)
Agreew with Squiffy - a name you can shorten to be more punchy would work well

laundrylover · 19/02/2008 09:43

My feisty two are Tilly and Kiah (ryhmes with Hiya!)....other little firecrackers I know are Jess, Hetty, Lottie, Daisy, Martha and many more!

MrsBadger · 19/02/2008 09:43

something 'whizzy' and snappy but not over-feisty, just in case she mellows later?

Polly
Helen
Zoe
Jane
Naomi
Jill
Clem(ence)
Joss (Jocelyn)

I don't think Nell too gentle, as it happens

berolina · 19/02/2008 09:44

I think Matilda (a lovely name IMO) means something like 'strong in battle'.

justnotsure · 19/02/2008 09:44

MMM Georgina, Georgie could work. I seem to be more fussy than before.

Lottie?

Shortened from Loretta?

piratecat · 19/02/2008 09:47

Constance 'Connie', seeing as its on your list?

can you possibly tell us what she is called atm??

PotPourri · 19/02/2008 09:47

Does your DD have a middle name? And if so, could that be shortened? Or, could you use her initials - e.g. Amanda Jane (AJ)?

Actually, another suggestion - Amanda (Mandie)
