So me, my husband and my teenage sister in law were watching a TV show called Teen [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] were the character is named Mieczyslaw, but his family called him Mischief when he was a kid because that name is quite honestly, a heck of a mouthful. However it got me thinking on our upcoming daughter and how Mischief is such a fun little nickname. But to go with it, I kind of wanted something that either means mischief or mischievous or has kind of the same sound but not flat out Mischief (in our search we found that this is indeed a first name)? We looked and found the name [name_u]Mischa[/name_u] (ive seen it pronounced mee-sh-ka and mee-shah) which I think is pretty, but we want to broaden the name pool to see if this is a good fit for the baby.
Honestly the first thing I thought of was [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]. [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] is a little dated but I can definitely see a [name_u]Drew[/name_u].
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]: While this name doesn’t mean mischief, it is the name of the spunky little book character [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_m]Quimby[/name_m] who is always getting herself into some sort of hilarious trouble. [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]: Quite an obvious association with the girl who opened the box! [name_f]Missy[/name_f]/[name_f]Misty[/name_f]/[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]: All of these sweet, modern names sound lots like mischief. [name_u]Rebel[/name_u]: This is a word name that definitely has the vibe you’re going for. But is it too much?
[name_u]Mischa[/name_u] (MEE-shah) is nice and would work well.
I think any ‘sassy/edgy/zesty’ sounding name would work well for a little mischief-maker: [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]/[name_f]Saskia[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_u]Scout[/name_u], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], Amaranth, [name_f]Zora[/name_f], [name_f]Viveca[/name_f], [name_f]Sarai[/name_f]…
I also think that the nickname of ‘[name_f]Missy[/name_f]’, would be great, which works for any and all names really.
I believe one of the meanings of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] (it’s commonly debated as to its origins) is ‘rebelliousness’, so any diminutive/relative of [name_f]Mary[/name_f], particularly the zestier types – [name_f]Mariska[/name_f], [name_f]Maia[/name_f], [name_f]Mirja[/name_f], [name_f]Malia[/name_f], [name_f]Meike[/name_f] – could work meaning-wise.
