Beautiful girl names
12
Sat, 02-25-2006 - 11:18am
I know everyone has their own idea of what beautiful girl names are, but I am looking for something not too common, classic, nn potential, and "spunky". What I have found so far is Amelia, Jane, Felicity, Julia, Adeline, and Tabitha. Any other ideas?

The first name I thought of before I read your list was Amelia, nn Mia, Lia, or even Amy. I *loved* Amelia for my 2nd DD, but DH couldn't grow to like it. :-(

Some other names that might fit your criteria...
Lucille/Lucy/Lucia
Elizabeth/Eliza (nn Libby or Betsy would work for Elizabeth, too, IMO)
Julianna, nn Annie
Clara (no real nn potential, though)
Josephine, nn Josie/Jo
Georgia
Caroline, nn Carrie/Cara
Victoria, nn Tori
Katrina
Sabrina (no real nn, though)
Susannah

HTH!
