Short girls names?

22 replies

oldnorsesaga · 14/06/2023 07:52

I always liked longer girls names such as Beatrice, Cordelia, Emmeline, Felicity etc... that said, I'm looking for short or medium length names.
I'm European, but there's no naming laws here, so I'm pretty open to names as long as they are easy to spell and pronounce.
I would prefer if names don't end in -a, but it's not a requirement.
I would prefer if name is unique.
Name should be middle to Felicity - and yes, I want a middle

Some names that I like are:
Alice, Amy, Nerys, Mabel, Giselle, Elaine, Lenore, Louise...

I think middle names should be less about 'sounding nice' and more about meaning. Because let's face it, how often do you say your whole name? My Ds1 has my grandmother's maiden name (it meant SO much to her when she was alive, and my son gets to keep that bit of history for his whole life). My twins had their middle names given by my parents/ dh parents so even when they're gone (Dh's Dad now passed away), they have the names living on. Just a thought but is there a name that means something to you, even if it's not particularly great with Felicity.

whatausername · 17/06/2023 02:31

None of the names on your list nor your request for a unique name are remotely uncommon, let alone unique.

Felicity Alice are two of my favourites.
Felicity Kate is another.

LindorDoubleChoc · 17/06/2023 04:15

Some of these suggestions are ghastly! 🤣

Like a pp I always think middle names should be a tribute to a loved one (not necessarily a family member).

If you're not going down that route then do stick to one syllable op.

I know some of names listed as middles aren't unique, but I just listed names I liked. I know it's hard to find unique and pretty names, so my focus is more in line where first+middle sounds unique. Now, my definition of unique is simply used less than others and I'm fine with it.

Felicity Grace is the winner.

Your definition of unique is unique
