    Girls names that can't be shortened?

    Hi, we are expecting bubby #3 and cannot find ANY names we like for a girl... We like Evelyn but hate people shortening names so might use it as a middle name instead. So i have come to all you lovely BB ladies for some suggestions, pretty please

    Scarlett (I am a wee bit biased on this one but we have never shortened my daughter's name, nor heard anyone else do it).

    This was a tricky one for me because I really like names that can be shortened (because mine can't be...it's Anna)

    Ok found out today that bub is a girl and the only name we even sort of agree on is Zara but it's not "jumping out at me" if you know what i mean? This is so hard...
