Unique feminine names for baby girl #3

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] 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 [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] while I am kind of meh on those, for example). Can’t start with a “sh” due to last name.

Ones on the list:

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

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:
