Girl name for someone who doesn't like girly names but don't want butch!

[ErnestTheBavarian]

Be gentle I am fussy. ANd devoid of ideas.

I have got 2 lovely boys names sorted, but cannot think of a girl's name. Well, there is 1 that I like - Mary - but dh has vetoed at 'too religious'.

I'd like a name that cannot easliy be shortened, or at least isn't automatically.

I'd like something that isn't 'trying too hard', or too trendy, or too girly so that it sounds sweet on a little girl but stupid on a growth woman.

Please God, let it be a boy So much easier.

Ideally 2 or max 3 syllables. Surname begines with 'K' so not sure about alliteration. Dh suggested Christina - but a. unsure of alliteration, and b. absolutely hate the nn Tina (no offense to anyone please)

Had same issues with girl's names as wanted strong names that weren't too "pretty":
Catherine,
Mary,
Frances,
Anna
Martha
Adelaide
Constance

All timeless and neither fashionable nor unfashionable so your DD can make of her life what she wants!

I think Cunegund Fanny as a certain ring to it.

Thanks guys

I love Martha. Works well in Germany as well I think? At least Martha is well known in Belgium, pronounced Marta.

Unfortunately dh doesn't like it, so I can't have it for dc3.

/Martha or Alexia.

Lois is a good one. NOt too girly, but not butch.

How does that work in Germany?

I think you should tell your dh - straight-faced, mind - that you've decided on Cunegund Fanny. You may have to insist you're serious for a day or two, but I bet you he'll have agreed to Mary before the end of the weekend!

Might I suggest, to go with Cunegund, the feminine of Hugo?
