Hello there! I’m not pregnant but I would love to make additions to my list. [name]Feel[/name] free to comment on the names I already have. I like names that are sorta vintage, but quirky, and they definitely need to have a little bit of spunk! Thank you all!
Favorites:
[name]Aubrey[/name] - I don’t really see this is a vintage girl’s name seeing as it’s really a boy’s name. I really love [name]Audrey[/name] though!
[name]Clementine[/name] - Cute, a little to much for me, but it in spunky, which I love.
[name]Joy[/name] - too plain for me
[name]Sunday[/name] - not a fan
[name]Ever[/name] - I don’t really like word names. And this one is not vintage or spunky, at least to me.
[name]Susannah[/name] - cute
[name]May[/name] - very vintage, so adorable.
[name]Juniper[/name] - love [name]Juniper[/name], definitely spunky!
[name]Louella[/name] - this is ok
[name]Briony[/name] - prefer Byrony
[name]Hope[/name] - ok
[name]Jemima[/name] - cute
[name]Gillian[/name] - not a fan
Ohh! I like [name]Opal[/name]. And liz, I’m aware that some of the names on my list don’t fit my own criteria. I don’t think [name]Ever[/name] is spunky or vintage, I just love it. And I know a woman named [name]Tuesday[/name]. She pulls it off just wonderfully!
I like the spelling of [name]Briony[/name] better than [name]Bryony[/name] because [name]Briony[/name] is the way [name]Ian[/name] [name]McEwan[/name] spells it. Also, [name]Bryony[/name] just has too many ys for me.
[name]Love[/name] your list! I love vintage names too
[name]Aubrey[/name] - I kind of wish this was still a boys name, but I think on a girl it’s very modern and cute.
[name]Clementine[/name] - I love this name and wish I could get away with using it. I don’t love the nn [name]Clem[/name] or [name]Clemmie[/name] though.
[name]Joy[/name] - simple and pretty virtue name. I think it works better in the middle spot.
[name]Sunday[/name] - very cute and spunky, love the nn [name]Sunny[/name].
[name]Ever[/name] - not a huge fan on this name, I think it works better in the mn spot or as a nn for something else ([name]Everett[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name]).
[name]Susannah[/name] - love this name! So cute, classic and full of spunkiness!
[name]May[/name] - I like it spelled [name]Mae[/name] better, still cute though. Another one that I think works better in the middle or as a nn.
[name]Juniper[/name] - so cute! I adore the nn [name]June[/name]/[name]Junie[/name].
[name]Louella[/name] - very cute
[name]Briony[/name] - not the biggest fan of this name and prefer the [name]Bryony[/name] spelling for it.
[name]Hope[/name] - too common these days unfortunately.
[name]Jemima[/name] - I love this name and wish it could be used in the US without all of the connotations it holds. It’s such a fun name and [name]Jem[/name] is a cute nn.
[name]Gillian[/name]- love this name. I love it pronounced with a hard G, so [name]GILL[/name]-ian. I met a woman using this pronunciation once and found it so fresh.
Some of my other favorites include:
[name]Martha[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] - [name]Bea[/name] or [name]Bibi[/name] has so much spunkiness!
[name]Dorothy[/name] - I wish [name]Dot[/name] was a more usable nickname, so cute.
[name]Edith[/name] ([name]Edie[/name])
[name]Elisabeth[/name] - [name]Libby[/name] and [name]Bess[/name] are my favorite spunky nicknames.
[name]Georgina[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] ([name]Jo[/name], [name]Josie[/name])
[name]Liberty[/name] - not quite vintage but definitely spunky.
[name]Maxine[/name]
[name]Opal[/name]
[name]Portia[/name]
[name]Roxanna[/name] - It doesn’t get much sassier than [name]Roxy[/name].
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Truth[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Verity[/name]
That’s so funny! [name]Joy[/name], [name]May[/name] and [name]Ever[/name] have always been the ones I like as mns. From your list, I like [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Mabel[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Liberty[/name] and [name]Opal[/name]. I like [name]True[/name] better [name]Truth[/name], but I like it for a boy. I agree about the pronounciation of [name]Gillian[/name], too.
[name]Lovely[/name] names, particularly [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Susannah[/name] and [name]Jemimah[/name].
