Unique feminine names for baby girl #3

Girl Names
1

Hi all! I thought I’d ask the collective hive mind here about your favorite adventurous yet feminine girl names. We’re having our third girl in less than a month and still haven’t decided on a name!

We want three syllables with the ability to shorten for a cute NN to match our other 2 daughters. They’re Lillian//Lilly and Eleanor//Nora. I am personally hoping to be a little less traditional this time (DH likes Elizabeth and Caroline while I am kind of meh on those, for example). Can’t start with a “sh” due to last name.

Ones on the list:

Josephine nn Josie
Emmeline nn Emmy
Cassia nn Cassie or Caz
Jessamine - love the full version, do not like the inevitable nn Jess
Bellamy - again love the full name, don’t like nn Bella
Penelope nn Penny
Anaïs (probably spelled Annaise) nn Anna or Annie

For whatever reason, none feel “right” yet and I’d love to have more to pick from when we finally meet her!

Aaaaaaand go!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I love [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] & [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].

Here are my thoughts on your list for #3:

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn Josie-I love love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. It’s perfect w/your dds’ names too. It’s smart & feminine & vintage & bold & glamorous. It’s not terribly over done either, but I wouldn’t call it unique. I think that [name_f]Josefina[/name_f] is less expected. I really like them both. I’m not personally a huge fan of [name_u]Josie[/name_u], but I can’t figure out why…I do like the nn [name_f]Posy[/name_f] though.

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] nn Emmy-Emmeline is pretty & nice w/your crew. But I’m not a fan of [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is obviously super popular too, so there are kind of a lot of little Em(something)s running around.

[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] or Caz-This is different. Would you say it [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]? I like the full name more than the nns. [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] seems kind of 90s.

Jessamine-Kind of cool. I’m not sure how avoidable an occasional [name_u]Jess[/name_u] or [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] would be.

Bellamy-Aw, I like [name_f]Bella[/name_f]. Again, it may be hard to avoid if you really don’t like it.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn Penny-Love this one. Feels like a perfect match too.

Anais-Ooh, so pretty! I’d just spell it [name_f]Anais[/name_f] personally. It’s going to be difficult to say & spell either way, but worth it for such a beautiful name. A little [name_f]Annie[/name_f] would be adorable w/Lily & [name_f]Nora[/name_f].

Sorry for any repeats, but here are a few more ideas:

Annabelle/Anna/Annie

Annika/Annie

Beatrice/Bea/Bess/Bette

Beatrix/Bea/Bess/Bette/Trixie

Callista/Callie

Camille/Callie

Camilla/Callie/Mila

Camellia/Callie/Mila

Clementine/Cleo/Minnie

Felicity/Fliss

Francesca/Franny/Francie

Gloria/Gigi

Gwendolen/Gwen/Gigi/Winnie

Georgina/Gigi/Georgie

Georgiana/Gigi/Georgie/Ani/Ana

Imogen/Imee/Minnie/Ginny/Idgie

Indigo/Idgie

Juniper/June/Junie/Juno

Junia/June/Junie/Juno

Louisa/Lulu/Lula/Lola

Magnolia/Maggie/Mally

Miriam/Mira/Miri

Mirabel/Miri/Mira

Rosalie/Rosie

Rosalia/Rosie

Susanna/Sadie/Sally/Anna/Annie/Scout

Salome/Sally

Tallula/Tali/Tula/Lulu/Lula

Talia/Tali

Vivian/Vivie

Violet/Vivie

Thanks for the detailed response <3 a lot of your suggestions have been on and off the list multiple times so they may show up again! I did like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] for a while and just couldn’t think of a good nn so this helps!

9

Maybe [name_f]Annalise[/name_f], [name_f]Carissa[/name_f], or [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] would work for you.

Of your guys’ list, I like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] best

10

Annalise nn Anna / Annie
Penelope nn Poppy / Pepper / Penny
Beatrice nn Bea / Triss
Matilda nn Tillie / Tilda
Margaret nn Greta / Maggie / Pearl / Daisy
Scarlett nn Lettie / Scarly
Charlotte nn Lottie / Charlie
Bellamy nn Belle
Harriet nn Hattie
Rosebeth / Rosemary nn Rose (or, just Rose!)
Frances / Francesca nn Frankie

11

From your list, I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], and [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] the best. Other alternates to a nn for [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] (because I don’t really like [name_f]Bella[/name_f] either) could maybe be just [name_u]Bell[/name_u], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], or [name_f]Amy[/name_f]?

Alternates- [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], or a little less traditional… [name_u]Cameron[/name_u], [name_u]Delaney[/name_u], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] or [name_u]Emery[/name_u], [name_f]Marisol[/name_f], [name_u]Mallory[/name_u], [name_u]Chandler[/name_u], without getting too out there.

12

I think [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mina[/name_f] would be nice. [name_u]Penny[/name_u] & [name_u]Josie[/name_u] are also good options.
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lena[/name_f]
Talulah nn [name_u]Tully[/name_u]
[name_f]Loretta[/name_f] nn [name_u]Laurie[/name_u]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] nn [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gen[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] nn [name_u]Abbey[/name_u]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] nn [name_u]Val[/name_u]

13

Thanks for the alternative nn suggestions! Hadn’t thought of a lot of those.

14

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] was my great grandma’s name, and her sister was [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]!

I wanted to add their other sister’s name is [name_f]Violet[/name_f] “Vi” and I think that fits quite well! :tulip:
