Hello, I’m expecting a daughter and would love some assistance naming her. We want a short name, 1-3 syllables but 2 is ideal. We would love suggestions similar to: [name_f]Cara[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Nova[/name_f], [name_f]April[/name_f], etc. We also really love uncommon unisex names i.e. [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_u]Max[/name_u]. Our last name is two syllables. Thank you!

Sorry for any repeats!
I’m also looking for short unisex names, or less common girl’s names.
Some unisex favourites.
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]. I’ve been looking into the history of this one because in recent years a lot of people assume that this is just a boy’s name, yet I’ve known and come across a number of female Judes (some short for [name_f]Judith[/name_f] and yet others not). The name can be traced back to 16th and 17th century [name_f]England[/name_f] when it was equally unisex. It remained equally unisex until about the mid 1800s, when its usage began to decline for females. It has really been growing in popularity recently for boys, but it’s still used occasionally for girls. It may start to become more popular for girls in the near future because it is the name of a female character in the 2014 YA book “I’ll Give You the [name_f]Sun[/name_f]” by Jandy [name_m]Nelson[/name_m], which is being made into a movie by [name_m]Warner[/name_m] Brothers.
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]. This name just has so much character and spirit. If you read the name on paper, it would keep you guessing at the gender, unlike its longer forms.
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u]. Rarely heard, and has a few good nickname options like [name_u]Win[/name_u], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], Lo. I don’t think this one has been established as more male or female in modern times, but haven’t looked into it much yet.
[name_u]Sam[/name_u], [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] and [name_u]Bay[/name_u] are some other unisex names you may like.
