I need girls’ names that are preferably two syllables, that are cutesy, feminine and upbeat! I also like names that have sort of a vintage/timeless feel.
For example, some of my favourites are [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], [name_f]Junie[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Arla[/name_f], [name_f]Dotty[/name_f], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_f]Dolly[/name_f] etc.
Maybe…
