I know I love quirky and vintage names, but what’s most important about a name is that its wearer likes it. With that being said, what name do you think is so versatile that it could fit almost anyone- girly girl, tomboy, prepster, punk, etc?
Thanks!
Names that have a variety of nickname possibilities – [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] always come to mind. Could use the full name for the girly girl, [name]Eliza[/name] or [name]Cate[/name] for the sophisticated or preppy girl, [name]Liz[/name] or [name]Cat[/name] for the tomboy, [name]Libby[/name] or [name]Kitty[/name], etc.
[name]Tabitha[/name]
There are so many nicknames that come along with it that it works all around!
[name]Maya[/name] works too (or [name]Maia[/name], [name]Mya[/name], and [name]Myah[/name], [name]Miya[/name])
[name]Jane[/name] and [name]Mary[/name]. I can see them on just about anyone. I think one syllable names do the trick. Also most virtue and flower names, like [name]Rose[/name] or [name]Mercy[/name].
I’d say longer names work better because you can nickname them to fit personality!
[name]Elizabeth[/name] - [name]Eli[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Lizzie[/name], [name]Liz[/name], [name]Zaza[/name], [name]Beth[/name], [name]Betty[/name], [name]Betsy[/name], [name]Buffy[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] - [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Lennie[/name], [name]Len[/name], Leenie, [name]Nora[/name], [name]Nell[/name], [name]Nelly[/name], [name]Elea[/name], [name]Ella[/name]
shieldsc- [name]Katherine[/name] is one of my favorite names, so I love hearing that you think it could fit anyone! [name]Kate[/name], [name]Kat[/name], [name]Kitty[/name], etc. I love it!
sinkingin- [name]Love[/name] [name]Tabitha[/name]! Everything from [name]Abby[/name] to [name]Tibby[/name] to maybe [name]Beth[/name]. But could it fit a tomboy? Maybe Tabs?
cristinamariane- I could see [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Mary[/name] fitting lots of people. [name]Janie[/name] would be adorable on a tomboy.
orange- I think [name]Ellie[/name] could fit anybody! [name]Elizabeth[/name] as well.
Thanks so much for the great responses! Keep 'em coming, berries!
[name]Aurora[/name]. [name]Rory[/name] is a great nickname for a tomboy 
I think [name]Sarah[/name] fits the bill, as I know Sarahs with all kinds of personalities, like listed in the original post.
In The [name]Baby[/name] Name [name]Wizard[/name], the description of [name]Sarah[/name] says something like, ‘any girl can make it her own’ or something like that. I agree with that description of it.
louie- [name]Love[/name] [name]Aurora[/name]! [name]Rory[/name] could be cute on a tomboy, for sure.
maggiemary- [name]Sarah[/name] is definitely on of the names any girl could make her own. Perfect suggestion!
Anyone else? [name]Do[/name] you guys think [name]Cecilia[/name] could fit? I could imagine [name]CeCe[/name] on a rocker-type, but I don’t know about a tomboy…
[name]Cecelia[/name]-[name]Cece[/name] I think would be fine on a tomboy-type.
[name]Victoria[/name] also comes to mind for me. [name]Victoria[/name] for the sleek, sophisticated type, [name]Vicki[/name] for the more casual girl, [name]Tori[/name] I feel could work for both a preppy girl,and a rocker one.
I’ve always said the go-to girls names that fit anybody and always sound great are [name]Julia[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], and [name]Sarah[/name]. You can’t go wrong with those three!
[name]Julia[/name] is elegant in full, sassy as [name]Jules[/name], ladylike and sweet as [name]Lia[/name].
[name]Caroline[/name] is pretty but wearable in full, preppy as [name]Carrie[/name], perky as [name]Cara[/name], and sporty as [name]Caro[/name]. She’s also vintage eccentric as [name]Rollo[/name].
[name]Sarah[/name] is classic in full, cutesy as [name]Sadie[/name], vintage as [name]Sally[/name] and [name]Sal[/name], and fun and spunky as [name]Sari[/name].
[name]Lemon[/name]
I think [name]Anna[/name] fits just about everyone. And I second [name]Jane[/name]!
I think [name]Emily[/name] can fit just about anyone. She can be sweet and girly, funny and athletic! [name]Emily[/name] is also classic, but modern.
I agree with Aurora and Sarah. I also think my name, Caitlin could fit anyone because I know a few Caitlin and all have different personalities and are either girly girls, tomboys or in between.
I suppose the long classic ones could fit anyone, those mentioned like [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name]. I would add [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Sophie[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name]… And then also the short universal names like [name]Anna[/name], [name]Jane[/name].
But then you could argue that more unusual are more likely to fit anybody because people know fewer and therefore there are no preconceived notions of a personality type. E.g.:
[name]Romilly[/name]
[name]Lorna[/name]
[name]Seren[/name]
[name]Delta[/name]
