Really struggling with girls names

[snowy-willow]

My boyfriend and I have different tastes in girls names.

My boyfriend likes quite traditional and girly names such as emily, Rose, Lucy

I like slightly unsual names but not to the point where people don't know how to say or spell them. I have grown up always having to spell and pronounce my name for people and I hate it. I also don't like names that are too popular.

We both like short names.

Anyone got any suggestions? I asked his on facebook and got a lot of replies but nothing we both like.

Hi,

I was thinking maybe to fit both your likes you should look for an old traditional name but the less common ones, then that way its unusual for you but traditional for your bf.

Here's some: (some are probably too long as you say you like short names but i thought i'd mention them anyway)

Elsie
Florence - Maybe just Flo or Flory as its shorter.
Edith
Maggie
Beatrice - maybe just Bea as its shorter.
Beatrix
Belle
Elspeth
Felicity
Iris
Martha
Violet
Ruth
Pearl
Esme
Elkie
Bessie
Nellie
Jinny
Ada
Lydia
Nancy
Irenie
Fay
Hazel
Ivy
Olive
Penelope - maybe just Pennie as its shorter.


Hope i have helped, even if just to rule some out .

Thanks everyone who made suggestions. A quick chat about baby names with my boyfriend mum who was putting different names together meant we found our name.

Thanks for all your help.

What name did you decide on??

We have decided to keep the names to ourselves for now - not sure how long that will last though !
