“Cool” 4 or 5 letter vintage style names for girls?

Asking for a friend, not for me unfortunately.

A friend has 3 girls and is going to have a 4th. girl. Her 3 girls are called Nova, Cleo and Zuzu. She and her husband would like another (preferably) 4 but no more than 5, letter names in this style. Names that feel almost vintage but a little quirky too.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA

Nova, Cleo and Zuzu sound like cars to me - maybe call the 4th child Astra or Corsa?

Of the ones pp have suggested, I definitely think you’d be looking at names like this that fit with the others and have a kind of sixties model vibe:

Biba
Etta
Edie
Romy
Lena
Anya
Didi
Hero
Mimi
Vita
Gaia
Lyra

i LOVE this style of name. I like Tali, Posy, Nora and Romy from the suggestions.

Not sure why there were so many judgey posts dripping with bitterness? Very odd.

Because they've all been basic and called their daughters Sophie and Olivia? If we call called our children the same 4-5 bland Mumsnet-sanctioned names the world would be a very dull (and confusing) place...

Zuzu, vintage???

Zuzu, vintage???

Have you not seen It’s A Wonderful Life? I’d say 1946 is pretty vintage!

Zuzu?

Where'd she get that from?

Younger daughter in the classic film, It’s a Wonderful Life…(possibly)

The baby names board has attracted a lot of people with narrow horizons of late.
