What names can you think of that are easy to spell and pronounce, have no extra letters, aren’t in the top 1000 and are not word names?

I’d be inclined to look for sparky vintage names and underused surnames to complement the names of your daughters. What about [name_f]Darla[/name_f] ‘Didi’, [name_f]Reba[/name_f] ‘Bee’ or ‘Bab’, [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] ‘Mae’, [name_f]Primula[/name_f] ‘Pim’ or ‘Prue’, [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] ‘Mim’ or ‘Missy’ because [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is very close to [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_f]Bettina[/name_f] ‘Betsy’ and [name_f]Eadlin[/name_f] ‘Edie’.
On the surname front I could see Paget/Padget called [name_f]Patty[/name_f], [name_f]Peggy[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f] with your family. It would be sweet with a classic middle name such as [name_u]Paget[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I like the idea of [name_u]Greer[/name_u] called [name_f]Gertie[/name_f]. It might be nice with a lilting middle name like [name_u]Greer[/name_u] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]. [name_u]Adair[/name_u] would also fit really well. It’s harder to find nicknames but I could see [name_f]Ada[/name_f] or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] working. [name_u]Adair[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] would be darling.

Honestly she’s always full of brilliant ideas I wanted to suggest [name_f]Enid[/name_f], [name_f]Trudy[/name_f], [name_f]Maud[/name_f], [name_f]Adora[/name_f], [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f], [name_f]Lois[/name_f], [name_f]Thelma[/name_f], [name_f]Ethel[/name_f], [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] and [name_f]Mildred[/name_f],
Been loving [name_f]Adora[/name_f] of recent!

I’ve always loved [name_u]Adair[/name_u]! But like you said the nickname options were always limited. [name_f]Ada[/name_f]? Dairy? I like your suggestion of [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] though

I’ve always loved the sound of [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] especially with the nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]. [name_u]Laurel[/name_u], [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] and [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] are both lovely too
I love [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]! Especially with the nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f]. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is lovely too, but its popularity jump in the last 4 years makes me hesitant.

[name_u]Abilene[/name_u] is one I go back and forth on, I like the sound but I’m not overly impressed with the nicknames, [name_u]Abbie[/name_u] feels a little eh, [name_u]Billie[/name_u] is cool but not me, [name_f]Lena[/name_f] I love as a full name. I like [name_f]Maura[/name_f] & [name_f]Odette[/name_f]
i would love to use [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] & [name_f]Judy[/name_f] as a nickname, but [name_f]Judith[/name_f] & [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] aren’t my cup of tea and I e yet to find any good alternatives. [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] is another one I love, but am not in love with the nicknames,

@LibelluleClaire i live in [name_f]England[/name_f] nicknames as first names in there own right is a really popular trend especially vintage nicknames so personally I think [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] & [name_f]Judy[/name_f] work as names in their own right! With [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] do you think [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_f]Joy[/name_f] could work? Alternatively you could have a J middle name maybe something like [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] [name_f]Joya[/name_f] with the nickname MJ?
