Short, Almost Vintage/Classic Names?

Girl Names
1

Hello! I’m expecting twin girls early [name_f]October[/name_f] and I’ve only just realized I’m blank on names. When I was expecting DD1, it took me and my wife months to come up with and agree on a name. We named our daughter [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] being a family name and that tends to be the kind of names I like! Its very hard for me and my SO to agree on names so I thought we’d take it one baby at a time! So, for baby 1 I’ve considered the name [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. Its so beautiful! But there’s a catch: I don’t like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Or [name_f]Honora[/name_f]. Or really just about any longer form for [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. And I understand fully that it can stand on its own, so please don’t tell me I could just use it as it is, I simply just want to give my kids longer names with nicknames and more room to grow into! I really quite like [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] though.

Could anyone suggest any names in that vein? Longer, kind of dated (I can’t think of the word for it!) and with a nickname that packs a punch? Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Dell[/name_u]?
[name_f]Mireille[/name_f]/Mirabel nn [name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f] (sell me on this, maybe?)
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f] (Last name one syllable, [name_f]Bella[/name_f] B–g sounds like a cartoon character)
I also like [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] but I feel the -y ending sounds a little matchy?
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Celia[/name_f]

I’m not sold on any of these, though, they don’t sound fresh or classic enough, or maybe I need more convincing </3 Older brother is [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] nn [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Congratulations! [name_m]How[/name_m] exciting!!!
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] is very pretty! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f] that’s really the only name I can think of with nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f] besides [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Honora[/name_f] which you aren’t keen on.
I actually really like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] with the nickname ‘nell’ which i see you have for penelope or [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] nickname ‘nell’
I was thinking:
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or just [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] nn [name_f]Trixie[/name_f] or [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]!!
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] nn ‘lottie’ [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] sound cute together!
[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f] ‘beth’
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lina[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] nn ‘[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_f]Cece[/name_f]’
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f] or even [name_f]Dora[/name_f]

Thank you for your suggestions! I really like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] so I’ll bring that up! [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is a LOVE LOVE LOVE name but my brother named his daughter [name_f]Emma[/name_f].

Thank you! It’s as scary as exciting! I’m starting to warm up on [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], actually! Oh, I love [name_u]Josie[/name_u] so much but I don’t know how I feel about matching initials! I’ll bring [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] up to my wife too! I like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] too, I’m thinking about [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] maybe so thank you for that! And I quite like [name_f]Cece[/name_f] for a [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]! I wonder if those’d work!

Sorry for repeats and congratulations!
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] nn [name_u]Daffy[/name_u]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] or [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dora[/name_f] or [name_u]Izzy[/name_u]

Mirabel or Mirabella nn Mira, Mir, Belle, or Bella
Leonora, Lenore, Lionora, Lionore, etc could be other ways to get to Nora

(After reading your other posts I see you probably will rule out Emiliana but I’ll leave it in in case!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] nn [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is adorable. And [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is so lovely! [name_f]Nora[/name_f] would be amazing for her sister. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]? Maybe [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] or [name_f]Lenora[/name_f]? Maybe [name_f]Anora[/name_f] spelled this way appeals to you more. I find that nicer looking than [name_f]Honora[/name_f]. Although for I can try to sell you on [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. It’s one of my top three favorite girl names. I used to not even care for it. One day a couple of years ago I heard a little boy call to his big sister [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] at the children’s museum. The little boy was called [name_u]Finn[/name_u], which has been one of my favorite boys for 20+ years now. [name_m]Just[/name_m] hearing the sib set together made me see [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] in a different light. [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is so rough & tumble witty outdoorsy & sporty, that it just made [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] seem less dull & more running through a meadow picking wild flowers. Or maybe a little tomboy playing baseball. Either way, I love both of those imageries, & it made me fall for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Plus, I adore the nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] after my great grandmother. Does my rambling help at all? :joy:

Here are my thoughts on the rest of your list-

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Dell[/name_u]-[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] is gorgeous. It’s bold, beautiful. & sweet. It’s seemingly old fashioned? Simple & well known but not popular. [name_u]Dell[/name_u] isn’t really my cup of tea, but it’s a creative nn for [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] that’s spunky & totally works.

[name_f]Mirelle[/name_f]/Mirabal nn [name_f]Mira[/name_f]-I’m a huge name nerd, & I still get confused on how to say/spell [name_f]Mireille[/name_f]. It may be tricky. [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] is simply beautiful, & I really like [name_f]Mira[/name_f] too. Kind of different, feminine & lovable. But still short & sweet.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nell[/name_f]-I really love [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] more than [name_f]Nell[/name_f] for some reason, but [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is really fun & perfect w/Jasper & [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]. I like the nns [name_u]Penny[/name_u] & [name_f]Polly[/name_f] too. [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] also works, but too cutesy.

[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Clara[/name_f]-I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] a lot on its own, but [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Clara[/name_f] makes sense. I’m just not into [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f]. It almost sounds 80s rather than classic.

[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f]-I really like this, but maybe a no go w/your ln.

[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]-Not my style. Maybe because it’s kind of boyish…I’m not sure. Maybe it could be a nn for [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]? I think [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] & [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] are fine for sisters.

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Celia[/name_f]-The nn seems a bit of a stretch. I like [name_f]Celia[/name_f] a lot though! [name_f]Delia[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] make more sense & are also very nice names. I actually love [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] a lot more than [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. It sounds sweeter & less stuffy. And you could do [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

What about [name_f]Norah[/name_f]? I think adding the h helps it look fuller and less like a nickname.

Other than that I think [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is gaining in popularity and might be a good option.

here’s some other suggestions:

Charlotte (goes really well with your other names. Same syllables and lots of cool nn’s)
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] “[name_f]Bee[/name_f]”
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] “[name_f]Mia[/name_f]”
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Alma[/name_f] “[name_f]Ally[/name_f]”
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] “[name_f]Edie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] “[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]/Etta”
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] “[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]/Ella/Bestey/etc/etc/etc”
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] - nn is the first name but it’s soo sweet.
[name_f]Roslyn[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f] “[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]/Georgette “[name_f]Gigi[/name_f]/Georgie”
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] “[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]” (you could also double barrel. [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]/Mary [name_f]Rose[/name_f])
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] “[name_f]Willa[/name_f]/Minnie/Mina”

good luck to you!!!

I think you just sold me on [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]… I just imagined [name_m]Jack[/name_m] calling out to her and it feels so right! [name_f]My[/name_f] SO’s been trying to convince me forever, I think he’s going to be eternally grateful to you! Thank you!

Congratulations!

You must be struggling coming up with names for twins double trouble :woman_facepalming:t3: I like the suggestion of [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] & [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Nora[/name_f] really classy.
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] ~ this is a pretty name with a floral vibe that ties her in with [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. [name_u]Dell[/name_u] is a very tomboy nickname which is very spunky.
[name_f]Mireille[/name_f]/Mirabel ~ I’m not keen on [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] but [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] is cute and elegant. Not keen on [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] together they sound off.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] ~ so I actually love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] it’s classy, elegant, has so much history and is ageless. Beautiful choice! Get on board I’m joking if your not keen your not keen but I think it’s lovely.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ~ beautiful effortless name really elegant and classy. Works wonderfully with [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]. [name_f]Nell[/name_f] & [name_u]Penny[/name_u] are fab nicknames!
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] ~ I really like this name it’s pretty has a gorgeous Christmassy vibe feels like the name off a ballerina it’s gorgeous. Works with [name_f]Lucille[/name_f].
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] ~ this is a nice name but you have prettier names on your list.
I agree [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] is too matchy matchy with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] ~ beautiful such a gorgeous name with a lovely Shakespearean flair.
Twin combinations from your list…
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] & [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] & [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] & [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]

I adore [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. I admit it took me a while, but gradually she rose up my list to top 3. She’s just so classic and sophisticated with so many cool nicknames (my favourite is [name_f]Nell[/name_f] but [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] are great too).

Have you considered the spelling variation [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]? Not sure if that would help you like it more.
