We love girls names that are short but leave an impression. They’re uncommon but don’t raise too many eyebrows. We like to stick to traditional spellings as well.
We have a fiery little girl named [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]. We’re looking for a name fitting our description for her (possible) sister! Our list so far:
I was already thinking [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] before I read your list. [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is short and adorable and has a similar vibe to [name_u]Piper[/name_u].
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] is my second favorite.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] I personally do not care for, but it goes so well with [name_u]Piper[/name_u].
[name_u]Zuri[/name_u] definitely jumps out to me as a cool, “punchy” name. I think it and [name_f]Nola[/name_f] fit very well with [name_u]Piper[/name_u].
The ones that don’t fit as well imo are [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. I like [name_u]Scout[/name_u] for children/nickname purposes but not as a professional name.
The rest are fine but just don’t stand out with [name_u]Piper[/name_u] the way [name_u]Zuri[/name_u] does.
My favorites are [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. I like that there is a bird called a phoebe but it doesn’t feel like an out-there nature name. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Nola[/name_f] work too but are a little more girly. I personally have a hard time seeing [name_u]Scout[/name_u] on an adult. [name_f]Isla[/name_f] feels a little bland to me and not quite “spunky.” Not familiar with [name_u]Zuri[/name_u]. Other ideas are [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Zadie[/name_f], and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] nn [name_u]Rue[/name_u].
We’re really stumped on middle names. We either want to use a family name, like we did with our first daughter (all my siblings children also have family middles) or something extremely significant. Nothing has stuck with us yet. We’ve considered:
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]- mine & possibly baby’s birth flower
[name_u]June[/name_u] - my moms birth month
[name_f]Alicia[/name_f] - husbands grandma
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] - family name on both sides but kind of overused imo
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - family name
Those are some really beautiful and classic options to choose from! My mom’s name is [name_u]June[/name_u] and her birth month also. I have the same issue being the youngest with my siblings children using all the family names.
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] [name_f]Nola[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Alicia[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Pheobe[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] if you want something a bit more unique
[name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Zuri[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Zuri[/name_u] is my fav from you list! Super spunky and cute. I also like [name_f]Isla[/name_f], but I fear pronunciation and spelling issues.
Have you considered [name_f]Nova[/name_f]? It’s my daughters name and we absolutely love it. She’s bright, adventurous, compassionate, and our shining star. I recommend it. We haven’t met any other [name_f]Nova[/name_f]’s though the name is growing in popularity.
Also, maybe [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_u]Seren[/name_u]? They’re in my signature and I thought they would suit your aesthetic.
