Help with girl names
5
Sun, 06-10-2007 - 5:52pm

I’m looking for names that are unique, classic/ non-trendy. Currently I’m in love with: Genevieve, Felicity, Talulla, Romilly and Cordelia, but I’d like some suggestions for girl names that are less, well, frilly, for lack of a better word.

Thanks-
Annie

I'm trying for distinctly feminine and unusual, but a little less lacy than your list. I love your names, btw. How about:
Leona
Anthea
Claudia
Daphne
Adele
Mabel
Virginia
Alice
Rhea
Annette
Tessa
Gretl/Greta
Laurel
Antonia
Linnea
Geneva
Corinne
Stella
Sylvia
Lyra
Willa
Winona
Cassia
Hazel
Marta
Delilah
Holly
Audra
Adelaide

Anything jumping out at you?

I see what you mean. Those names are GORGEOUS, but a tad frilly. How about using a nn to shorten it up?

Genevieve- Eve, Evie, Genna, Gen, Gigi
Felicity- Fliss, Flicka, Faye, Lissa, Lissy, Liss, Fifi
Talulla- Lula, Lulu, Tally
Romilly- Romy, Rom
Cordelia- Cora, Cory, Delia, Lia

Other names under the same style that are less frilly are:

Hazel

Iris

Ivy

Imogen

Dahlia

Cora

Ada

Scarlett

Eve

Maren

Carys

Lola

Stella

Blythe

Shea

All of those are appealing. Generally, for me, more than two syllables adds to the frill factor.


What about-


Corliss


Thea


Gemma


Romy


Lois


Colette (long o- sound, not coll)


Ivy


Adele


Vera


Enid


Esther


Gwen


Lottchen


Jessa


Inga


Annette


Lorraine


Muriel


Tanith


Sabine


Honor


Gretchen


Ginger
