Here’s my current list of girl’s names so you can see my style. I haven’t really loved any of them, and the few I was set on, I’ve changed my mind. Needing some inspiration, every time I search for cowgirl,southern,classic,old school girl names I come up with the same ones. Help with middle names for these would be greatly appreciated also! Maybe that will help like them more. My name is [name_f]Jade[/name_f] and hubs is [name_m]John[/name_m], and our last name is short,starts with an S and ends in a EEE sound. So I prefer a 2+ syllable non-J or S beginning name.
[name_u]Abilene[/name_u] (do you think this ones destined for the NN [name_u]Abbey[/name_u]? I don’t care for [name_u]Abbey[/name_u])
[name_f]Caldonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Darlene[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearlene[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_u]Patsy[/name_u]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
I don’t think [name_u]Abilene[/name_u] is destined for the nn [name_u]Abbey[/name_u], I wouldn’t have even thought of [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] as a nn till you mentioned it. I’d be more inclined to nn her Lenie, [name_f]LeLe[/name_f] or something similar.

[name_f]Glad[/name_f] to hear that about [name_u]Abilene[/name_u], thanks for suggestions! Oooh, [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] is a nice alternative to [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]!
Are you saying [name_u]Abilene[/name_u] with a long A sound (ay-bih-leen?) If you’re pronouncing it with a long A then I don’t think it’s destined to be shortened to [name_u]Abby[/name_u]. If you’re saying it with a short A like in [name_u]Abby[/name_u], then I think the nickname will happen.
