I really love [name_u]Owen[/name_u]. It’s so simple yet beautiful. Perfect for a boy. But I don’t like boy names for girls, I also don’t like [name_f]Owena[/name_f] or [name_f]Olwen[/name_f].
I love the nn [name_u]Alfie[/name_u], but don’t like [name_f]Alfreda[/name_f] and versions of it.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any name suggestions for me to use [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] as nn? Wouldn’t mind if it’s a stretch.
Also, I love [name_m]Alistair[/name_m], definitely my number one choice for a boy. Can’t find something similar for a girl. Anything comes to your mind?
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] - [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]; [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]? Or maybe you’d like [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]. So similar to [name_u]Owen[/name_u], on paper anyway, yet all girl.
I wouldn’t recommend using [name_u]Owen[/name_u] or [name_u]Alfie[/name_u] for girls, even as nicknames, since they’re such common boys’ names, but:
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] for [name_u]Owen[/name_u] was my first thought. There’s also [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] and [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f].
I’ve always thought Alfalfa was cute, but probably better suited for a pet! Any [name_m]Al[/name_m]- name would be fine, at a stretch- [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Alina[/name_f], etc.- especially with an F middle name. [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] is a variation of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], so the female equivalent would be [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].
I second bonfireazalea in her suggestions for [name_u]Alfie[/name_u].
On the [name_u]Owen[/name_u] front, I know a girl called [name_f]Olenka[/name_f] and I’ve always thought her name has a lovely almost-[name_u]Owen[/name_u] sound. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] is also pretty close.
For [name_u]Owen[/name_u] I immediately thought of [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], a nature unisex name. Nickname [name_f]Ro[/name_f] is cute.
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] immediately brought to mind [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f] etc
