Trying to find a short “spunky” girl name but we can’t seem to find one that fits. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I are the youngest siblings in both of our families and the last to have kids, so we have a lot of names that we like but can’t use and can’t seem to find a name that we love.
Some names we like but can’t use because they are already in the family or close friends have used: [name_f]Zoey[/name_f], [name_f]Kora[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_f]Ruby[/name_f], and any name that starts with [name_f]Jo[/name_f] (we have a [name_f]Jojo[/name_f], [name_f]Josie[/name_f], and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] already in the family). We like names that are known but not super common (we feel like [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Zoey[/name_f], and [name_f]Josie[/name_f] fit that perfectly but we can’t use them) and names that aren’t long like [name_f]Kathrine[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
Names I like that have been vetoed: [name_f]Margo[/name_f], [name_f]Hallie[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Suvi[/name_f]
Names my husband likes that have been vetoed: [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] (he specifically likes the nicknames with these [name_m]Eddie[/name_m], [name_f]Aggie[/name_f], [name_f]Lil[/name_f], and Cici)
Names that we both like but don’t feel like ‘the one’: [name_f]Mari[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Dana[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
It feels like we can’t get out of the mindset of what we can’t use . We keep going in circles and hoping for a new perspective! Any ideas?
