short not too frilly girls names?

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! This is my first time posting. I recently found out I am expecting my second baby. I am excited about starting our name search. My husband and I tend to have a hard time agreeing on names do we need to start early. We love short, spunky, not super girly names. Nothing too common or expected to be in the top 100. Below are the only ones I can come up with! Any thoughts or other ideas? Our son’s name is [name_m]Ace[/name_m] [name_m]Phillip[/name_m].

[name_u]Sloane[/name_u] (husband vetoed bc of someone he knows)
[name_u]Rue[/name_u] (is this getting super popular…I love it!)
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Dot[/name_f]
[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Max[/name_u]…too similar to [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_m]Simpson[/name_m]'s [name_m]Ace[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]).

I do think having an [name_m]Ace[/name_m] and [name_u]Max[/name_u]-name would be too similar to JSimp.

I don’t know much about the popularity of [name_u]Rue[/name_u] but a friend named her daughter [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] with the intention of using the nickname [name_u]Rue[/name_u].

Some other suggestions…

[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]

[name_u]Wynn[/name_u]

I have also seen Halo and Chase on birth announcements for baby girls in Australia, although I suspect those might be a little too much for most people :slight_smile:
