Help with my spunky kickin' girl's name!



  • Elizabeth Leigh (prob. call her Libby Leigh)
  • Gwendolyn Leigh
  • Margaret Elizabeth (Maggie? Greta? Daisy?)
  • Amelia Elizabeth (Mimi? Mia? Lia? Brother is Will, so no nn Milly)
  • Anna Leigh Elizabeth (prob. call her Annie Leigh)
  • Scarlett Elizabeth
  • Elizabeth Evangeline
  • also like Molly, but we'd like a more formal fn and can't use Mary...
  • other suggestions welcome...Leigh and Elizabeth are family names, btw...

I love Margaret Elizabeth and like the nickname Maggie. Margaret Leigh is also pretty.

I love Greta as a nick name (or first name as well)

You can name her Margaret and use Molly as a NN.

I voted for Margaret Elizabeth (love, love, love!) but what about Margaret Evangeline?
Also, one of my favorites is Margaret Annelise.

I like all of your choices, except maybe Scarlett (it's just not my style.) For what it's worth, all of the Mollys I know are really named Maureen. Would you consider Maureen as the formal name?

Good luck with your choice,
Kim

If you are a Southerner by the Grace of God then you must go with Miss Scarlett Elizabeth.

What a fabulous list of names. I voted for Scarlett, since you said you said spunky & kicking, but I also love Gwendolyn and Margaret with the nickname Daisy. (Daisy is a great spunky name.) You can't go wrong with Elizabeth or Anna, either. And Evangeline is a favorite of mine. Amelia is pretty, but feels rather sedate to me.

Great job putting together your list. Not a loser on there.

Let us know when that spunky baby arrives and what name you chose for her.

One of the names on our short list is Amalia, and I was planning to call her Molly (maybe spelled Mollie).
