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)
