***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.

Petra = rock. Very feisty

Edith
Odette
Amy
Florence
Joan

Leona--lioness??

my dd5's name

how old is she? what is so fiesty about her?
sometimes children's name end up suiting their character not the other way round
i have an emma (soft classic name) and she is quite strong and individual and her name still suits her
sometimes its great to have a name that 'sounds' opposite to your character

Analaa "goddess of fire"

Thalia is great. I like Thea too (pronounced tay-a)
We have an Elizabeth who has always been a Billie. She is as fiery as you can get with wonderful wild, curly red hair too!

Iris

Olivia (Ollie), Victoria (vicky), Christina (Chris/chrissie, tina, Christie), Rebecca (Becky, Bec), Melanie (Mel, Lana) dorothy (Dot), Megan (Meg), Gwendolyn (Gwen), Gwynyth (as in Paltrow!), Geraldine (Geri)

Mary

greensleeves depends on what nationality she is/was!!

btw just nosed at your profile, those cakes are mad!!!!

Cataline - Billie/Elizabeth = lovely

lol at my cakes being 'mad', they are the product of a creative mind in a state of advanced psychosis

my sister is English but has lived in various countries.

sorry for hijack!

Bink actually I think Irene/Reenie is lovely. maybe too "soft"

Lily is a bruiser, she's gutsy, outgoing and well, very unlike my other children and they really do suit their names. I cannot put my finger on why. It just seems too whimsical.

Thanks for the advice re the Antigone name, meaning does matter to us.

Yeah my nan was a Lily, from 'up north' and was a strong woman. Raised my dad on her own, worked round the clock, was this tiny little woman, but had a gravely voice and fed us brown sauce sandwiches.!!!!

You could just change it to Lilith. That's very fiery!

Just thinking, if no middle name currently, maybe you could just give her a middle name (no real need to change it by deedpole or whatever), and then us a combination of the two. e.g. Lily Jemima (LJ), Lily Charlotte (Lu-lottie) Might be moving towards the chav that you mentioned in OP though! LOL

Oh Iris is fantastic and still a flower. (gets all excited)

Is Clementine soft too?Yes it is.

(really confuddled now)

Greensleeves I love the cakes too.

We had this with DD - from the 20 week scan onwards she was going to be called Sofia, but once she was born it just didn't suit her. Even to me that sounds weird, that a name didn't suit a 5 minute old baby, but me and DH both agreed that it didn't 'fit' (same reasons too, it seemed quite a sweet name and DD was definitely feistier) We ended up calling her Lydia

Brilliant lateral thinking by Greensleeves there.

If you like the sound of Tiggy, instead of Antigone you could have Tabitha -> Tibby. I don't think Tabitha is too soft. (Is it itself a traditional short form of something else? Must go and have a surf.)

lilith the first wife of Adam

scarlet
lexi
darcy

Marina I missed your list.
Wow there are some great names there. Ethel- dh would kill me but I love that name

Call her Jael

Judges 4:21

'Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.'

How's that for feisty!?

Have surfed.
Tabitha is not an abbreviation, but name in its own right - means, er, gazelle (Greek from original Arabic), so I'm a bit wrong on the not-soft-ness.
