Short Girls Names

hi there,

DH and i are looking to TTC #2 at the end of this year. We already have our boys name but are stuck for a girls name. our first DD is Ella and we love her name and would like to have another short (3-5 letter) girl name or a name that can't be shortened eg:Charlotte would be Charlie or Lottie which i Love but DH doesn't!). The only ones i can come up with atm (which i don't LOVE) are:

Chloe
Brooke
Zara
Ava ( I really like this name by a gf of mine named her daughter that so its out :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Clare
Eva
Sarah
Jade
Lea
Tara
Mia
Tehya
Lucy
Lily

I just want to jump in quickly & say I LOVE the name Lottie!!!!! I started a thread on it here a few weeks back before I found out our no2 is going to be another boy. It was top of our list. Best thing is its sooo pretty but I've never heard anyone else mention or use it.

I love it too by my DH is adamant it would have to be Charlotte or choose another name ( I actually prefer just Lottie on its own!) arrggggh Men!

Lola
Zoe
Erin
Poppy
Rose
Milly

Rose
Anne

I'm like you, I love short names. In fact Ella was on our list as well, but the two girls names we settled on were Ruby and Ivy.

Lee
Mary
Marie
Anna
Anne
Emma
Tilly
Claire
Annie
Aine
Eve
Eva
Lilly
Miah
Paige


Good luck! :)

Emily
Maia
Mia
Amy
Katie
Sophie
Sasha
Piper
Evie
Stella
Bridie
Bella

Congrats and happy naming!!!

LOL...i did have a laugh, because i remember thinking well we didnt use Lilly for DD so i can keep it for our next one should it be a girl! :rofl:

I like the name the Zahli, what do you ladies think of that? I think it flows nicely with DD1's name. Ella & Zahli, stop fighting! - Yep could hear myself saying that over and over again :D:ROFL:

I like it
Only shortish girls name I can think of is Keisha (my sisters name) Sorry Im hopeless with girls names.

We had a Zali at school who was really lovely so I like the name, I also like it without the "h".

Hmmm I'm out! :) Gl with it all... Names can definately be the hardest thing to agree on when it comes to babies!

LOOOOOOOOOVE Charlotte! (My little girl's name)

How about Ann or Annie? Liz? I know that's short for Elizabeth but some people use on its own.

I wanted Chloe but DP didn't like and we both had to like it as I figure he contributed 50% :p

I really like Zali too, our DD was going to be Zali until about 2 weeks before she arrived, and DH came up with Tahli (we called her Tahlia, and she gets Tahli for short). Funny thing was, I had suggested Tahli at the very beginning, and DH had said no way, and then forgotten about it, and at the end of the pregnancy spotted a Tahli on TV and suggested it! I let him think he thought of it.....;) .

Actually same thing happened with DS Noah this year. I have always loved Noah, and DH said no way, until he was reading the paper one day, and Noah was the 10th most popular name in Vic last year, and as DH has worn number 10 on his footy jumper, he suddenly decided he loved it, and Noah it was going to be.....Men, so fickle!:lol:

I've always liked Beth. And I like Grace (P's middle name). Zahli is cute.

I am biased but Tori is a great short girls name ;) I really love the name Lucy too, and have been tossing it around as a name if when we have #3 its a girl. This is a great thread for me to keep my eye on, as we like short names too.

I'm the queen of shortening names so if you want to test it out, Ill give you the short-short version!! ;)

Chloe - Clo
Brooke - hmmmm this one passed the test!!:p
Zara - Zar
Ava - Av

They're all beautiful Ella, Zara is my fave tho.

Good luck!

Thanks for all your input lovely ladies :)

We've narrowed it down to 4 names :) - I mean if we have a boy they all become moot, but we've had the boys name picked out for about 4 years!

The four girls names are

Zahli Rose
Ava Hope
Zoe Eden
Zara Kaitlyn

As you can see i like the names starting with a "Z" :D

All beautiful choices :dance:

Good luck when the time comes :D

xo

Oooo how beautiful! I think Zoe Edyn is my fave! :)
