Short and sweet suggestions?

Girl Names
1

[name]Hi[/name] all. More and more I’ve been loving simple, streamlined, underused/unusual, vintage names. [name]One[/name] of my all time favorite names is [name]Chloe[/name], but she’s way too popular. But she’s pretty representative of short and sweet style I’m looking for.

Some others that I think fit the bill:
[name]Bijou[/name]
[name]Billie[/name]
Loie
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Opal[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]

Can you think of any others? Our last name is one syllable starting with “S.” Also, what middle names would you suggest?

Thanks!
[name]Rosey[/name]

[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Amy[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Mia[/name]
[name]Nina[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Sybil[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name]

I would probably recommend a 3 syllable middle for 2-3-1 rhythm.

[name]Rilla[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]

I love the previous suggestions of [name]Elka[/name], [name]Calla[/name], [name]Willa[/name], Sylvie, [name]Nell[/name], [name]Nina[/name] and [name]Eve[/name]. From your list I absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Billie[/name] (she’s a main character on my favourite show Offspring) and Loie. The first time I heard of Loie in the recent Nameberry post I fell in love. It’s got a bit of [name]Chloe[/name], [name]Lois[/name] & [name]Lily[/name] all wrapped up together, which is refreshing and familiar at the same time.

Minisia, you totally nailed it! I adore Lilou! I also love Kitt, Suvi, Lumi (I heard it pronounced Luh-mee on tv, but it’s loo- mee elsewhere - does anyone know?), Briar, Hero, Anouk, Coral, & Poesie. Apple & Bluebell are kind of guilty pleasures for me. I have loved Loie since I did a report on Loie Fuller in high school! I just recently met a little Loie at a wedding over the summer and she was adorable.

@blade, there’s something about the E ending that makes it look more streamlined and sophisticated, I think.

I like Scout, Sage, Maisie and Erin too.

I like [name]Zoe[/name], but I think it’s too popular (especially when you take into consideration all the different spellings.)

For some reason, I just don’t like all “V” names, [name]Ava[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Ivy[/name] etc.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Willa[/name] and [name]Calla[/name]. [name]Leonie[/name] is gorgeous. I adore [name]Plum[/name]. And [name]Molly[/name] has been one of my favorites since I was a little girl. It’s still pretty popular, though. [name]Rue[/name] is cute- it was my nickname when I was little. I love [name]Mae[/name] too.

According to the speaker button on google translate it’s “loo-mee” :slight_smile:

[name]Glad[/name] you like [name]Lilou[/name]! As soon as I saw [name]Bijou[/name] I thought it’d be a perfect suggestion. A French cousin of mine had a little [name]Lilou[/name] a few years ago and it suits her so well. She’s got a long, Polish middle name after her great-grandmother Stanislava, except with a w in place of the v, and whilst it’s not everyone’s cup of tea I absolutely adore that type of eclecticism in names.

[name]Eve[/name] or [name]Evie[/name]. [name]Maisie[/name], [name]Grace[/name], [name]Paige[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Jade[/name].
