Names that have a similar feel to Lucy, without the popularity?

Names that have a similar feel to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], without the popularity?

We aren’t even close to knowing gender at this point, but I’m already scrolling through my old name lists.

With our son, I was so stressed thinking I loved a ton of girl names and would never find a boy name I liked. Now I think we already have a strong contender for a potential second boy, but for a girl I would be so lost!

Part of me wants timeless, elegant, classic, feminine. Half of me likes spunky and tomboy.

Sometimes I like the idea of a longer formal name with a nickname, than others I’m drawn to short and simple.

Some random girl names I’ve considered in the past to give an idea of style:

[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]

[name_f]Ruthie[/name_f]

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Fae[/name_f]
(Not sold on [name_u]Florence[/name_u] or nn of it, I think I just like alliteration and love Fae)

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f] (same as above)

[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]

[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]

[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] “Millie”
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] “Millie”

“Maggie” [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]

[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Theda[/name_f]

[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Essie[/name_f]

[name_f]Gracie[/name_f] [name_f]Francine[/name_f]

[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]

You’ve nailed the “older yet tasteful” names like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] for the most part.
I’ll add a few:

1. [name_f]Lissette[/name_f] ( you still get the “L” but nowhere near the top in popularity as well as the nice, exotic sophistication of “Cossette.”)
2. [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] (Same style, less popularity)
3. [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] (“Anna” with a little [name_m]German[/name_m] spice and also an older yet melodious feel)
4. Gemstone names (Older but definitely doable) like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] or [name_u]Jade[/name_u].
5. [name_f]Lilyanna[/name_f].

To pair with [name_f]Fae[/name_f] since you seem to really like it:
Alliterative: [name_f]Francine[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_m]Faolan[/name_m] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Felicia[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_u]Fern[/name_u] [name_f]Fae[/name_f].
[name_f]Non[/name_f] Alliterative: [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Audra[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Destiny[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Noreen[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Trixie[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f].

[Greyblue]

Based purely on the vibes [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] gives me:

[name_f]Freda[/name_f]
[name_f]Lotta[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]

[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lois[/name_f]
[name_f]Constance[/name_f]
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f]

I find it so hard to nail down a name that ‘feels’ like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] - it’s just in a group of it’s own, you know.

[EdgeOfTheMeadow]

How about [name_u]Hazel[/name_u]? I think [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] can settle into many categories, including Lucy’s timeless, feminine, streamlined and beautiful feel. She’s also outdoorsy, spirited, vintage and boho.

[notcinnamon]

Grrreat list! I adore [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], and [name_f]Etta[/name_f]! ADORE, and I’ve very picky. I like [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], [name_f]Francine[/name_f], [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] enough to suggest their use IRL.

Longer with nn that you might like:
[name_f]Angeline[/name_f] (short a, long i)- [name_f]Annie[/name_f], Liney
[name_f]Sanibel[/name_f] (Sally, [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], Bell)
[name_f]Caterina[/name_f] (Cat, [name_f]Cate[/name_f], [name_f]Catie[/name_f], [name_f]Rina[/name_f], Rinny)
[name_f]Jordana[/name_f] (Jora, [name_u]Jordy[/name_u], Danni)
[name_u]Florentine[/name_u] (Flora, [name_f]Florrie[/name_f], Renny)
[name_f]Fiora[/name_f] (Fifi, Fia)
