***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.

also louella, elewyn, tabitha, titania, elspeth

What about Poppy, if you call her Bop or Bops already?

What about one of thsoe Southern writer-women names: Carson or Harper? Or thsoe Bloomsbury names are strong too: Virginia, Vanessa, Rebecca, storm, Radcliffe, er etc...

Freya?

How about Vita?

I suggested Vita about 416 years ago

Lilith from Cheers/Frasier was damn feisty.

Sasha
Nancy
Nina
Elsa
Leonie

Well if we're talking feisty TV characters, how about Darlene

Wow, some super names on here (including dd's, which I last saw on a thread entitled 'Names you'd never give your baby') Some of these have already been mentioned, but I was thinking of feisty girl heroines such as
Nancy (Drew)
Pippi (Longstocking)
Dorothy (Wizard of Oz)-- not sure it's done in the UK so much, but in the US this is often shortened to Darcy, which someone mentioned way down there.

Rock song heroines:
Roxanne (I see Roxie has already gotten a lot of votes)
Cecilia
Layla

The name Candace is (I think) from an Ethiopian queen (and also the name of the Sex in the City author), but would probably get shortened to the rather less commanding Candy. And speaking of queens, if you didn't want to stray too far from Lily, you could go with Lilibet, which I think is what the queen (our one) was called when she was little.

Or Carla Maria Victoria Angelina Teresa Appollonia?

Appollonia would be fab - Polly for short (like Fawlty Towers - 2 feisties for the price of 1 that way )

nora, dora, josephina, josephine, tasha, tania, charlotta, carlotta, carlyn, kaia, cecilia, cecile, celina, celine.

meredith?

hi haven't read posts so sorry if its a repeat by dd2 is Lexie, short for Alexandra and she's certainly feisty!

another one from nursery is Amelie and she's another one that knows her own mind!

oh and I wanted to call her Dylan when she was born but dh wouldn't budge - incase you like that
other ones on our list were

Rudy
Reese
Phoebe
Lola

Bathsheba?

Great thread!

If you want feisty Shakespearean names try Miranda, Rosalind or Beatrice - I've got all three and they work well

But as your daughter is 11 months - what about Sylvia - also a Shakespearean name - and the third Pankhurst and it sounds a bit similiar to Lily so won't confuse her too much.....

Eris - greek goddess of chaos i think
i once met a woman called Fiar (her mother made it up because she was fiery)

Still loving this thread!

Sylvie?

Isla?

Leila?

Lilyella?

Ruby

Xanthe is fab

Has anyone offered Jezebel?

I love the name but dh wouldn't have it [miserable git]

Lara/Lola/Olivia/Amelia are all quite strong names I think

georgia?
