***URGENT***Name for a feisty /firey girl please.

[justnotsure]

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.

Lottie could be shortened from Charlotte too.

I know a little girl called Constance, but shortened to Nancy. And she is good and fiesty

Gemma 'Gem' as in little

Charlotte is quite a strong, fiery name.

What about Aggie (Agnes) or Anouk?
Flossie (Florence)

Zoe "life"
Zia "light, splendor and grain"

I love Charlotte too, good and strong.

Hettie could be a short for Harriet as well (love that name)

Harriet/Hattie

Tamara/Tammy

Oh I have one of those - she's 7 now and we really struggled with her name and dh didn't like any of the one's I suggested. So we have an Eilidh (pronounced Aylee) and it really suits her - she learnt to spell it from 3 years old and boy does she tell people off when they pronounce it wrong. "It's Eilidh" at the top of her voice.

Leni
Arianne (a strong name)
Alexa
Fiona

Keziah (cinnamon flower)

Lovely question.
I can see you'll be saying no to Grace, then

I think Anna is quite feisty.
Alexandra?
Natalie
Elizabeth - has all kinds of ways of being shortened, from the fluffy to the brisk
Georgina (for Enid Blyton reasons)
Thomasina (per analogy with Georgina, also rather like it)
Petra
Thalia - as in muse of comedy, great for a very lively person

Feisty girls from Shakespeare - Cordelia, Perdita (though I think Perdita's a sad name)

Feisty women from the Bible - Judith ...

There's another Greek name on the tip of my tongue - I'll post it when I remember it.

Alexas very fiery IMO.

Antigone.

Wow that is great. Very her too. She is so unique I have never known another baby like her. I am glad I asked here, I'm finding looking at baby name books very confusing I just read name after name uninspired I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

She is a Lily and gets called Lil/Lu/LiLu. It does not suit her at all. No middle name I thought Rosa was enough. Glad dh did not choose tough he wanted Jemima, equally not her-too soft.

I think I like George/Tiggy/Hettie- Henrietta? So far.

Amused to find that my real life name, and that of dd have both been listed.

We are both reasonably feisy!

Petra is fiery. My sister is called Petra and she eats people and spits out the bones.

Caspin
Zara
Violet
Vivian

Goodness lots to think about already.

Love Hattie- already taken by my best friend who's dd is now 4 weeks old so maybe Hettie is too similar.

Agnes(Aggie) I love but it reminds me of that scottish woman in hat cleaning you house telly thing (shudder)

Athena
Minerva
Andrea
Gaia
Hera
Simone
Emmeline
Milicent
Ethel
Betty
Vita
Mary

All of these are either Greek/Roman goddess names or women who marched to the beat of their own drum, IYSWIM

Vita (life)
Verity (truth)

I knew a similar Petra lol!!

Do watch out with Antigone - it's got a grim backstory, if you mind about things like that.

The name I was thinking of was Irene, not quite sure why now, as it means peace ... I was thinking of it pronounced in the old-fashioned proper-Greek way as Ireen-y. But it's probably a weird suggestion anyway.

piratecat I wonder if you knew my sister?
