Spunky girl name suggestions?

CantWaitforBaby · July 2011

Well, DH vetoed both Georgia and Brynn. After having a hormonal fit and declaring this baby is going to remain nameless because of his stubborn ways, I'm ready to start over and keep looking.

What are your favorite spunky or tomboyish girl names?

TIA!

Roxie is a guilty pleasure of mine. Roxie Pond. Does that sound like a porn star? Dunno, but I love it!

Piper and Scout come to mind, love them both!

Try some of these lists:

That site is a really great help. So is Nymbler. Are you asking your husband what he does and does not like about the names?

Riley, Harper, Payton, Alex

Thanks! Yes, he said Georgia sounds old and masculine- yeah, figure that one out- and Brynn is too "boring" and sounds like a sound, not a name. Ugh!

I'll add that his favorite names are Pheobe, Piper, Harper, Cheyenne, and Reese.

I think Phoebe Pond is really, really, adorable! Piper, not so much.

Oh no Georgia and Brynn are two of my favs! DD's are Scarlet and Tess which I thought were a little spunky and not too common Others I like

Matilda(tilly), Wren, Louisa, Arden, Delaney, Lydia, Maren, Liv, Emerson

CantWaitforBaby · July 2011

Thank you girls for all the suggestions. I'm getting a list together for DH tonight!

Rach21 · July 2011

Spunky girl names? These are some I wouldn't normally pick, but your LO needs a name!

Andrea (nn Andy), Blair, Charlotte (nn Charlie), Drew, Eden, Fiona (nn Fee), Grayson, Harley, Ivy, Juno, Katherine (nn Kit), Lark, Maven, Neve, Olivia (nn Liv), Piper, Quinn, River (on the off chance your DH is a Firefly fan), Sage, Tess, Ursula, Wren, Xandra, Zena (who has more spunk than the warrior princess?)

Summer2122 · July 2011

I really like your current choice of Harper, I think it has the spunk and the unisex quality your looking for. I would just choose a longer more girly middle name over grace (although I adore grace as a name just not with your combination for some reason)

Harper Elaine

Harper Elizabeth

Harper Katherine

PhilsWife07 · July 2011

Phoebe was the first name that came to mind. It's at the top of our list, too.

I REALLY like Harper, too. It's not on our list though, DH doesn't like it.

For anyone else, I'd have said Piper, hands down, but I can see where Piper Pond might be a bit much. Phoebe's a good one...classic and common enough that it doesn't sound weird.

Another one I haven't seen mentioned that I'm loving lately: have you considered Marin? It may or may not be your style, though.

I'm not crazy about Marin, I think because it's the last name of a woman I'm not really fond of.

I'm really trying to like Phoebe because I do think it's cute, I just can't really picture myself using it!

Thanks again everyone!

KZBurnworth · July 2011

These are on my list, Brielle, Demi, Everly, Daucen, Cassadee, Chase, Layla, Leighton, Reese, Daisy, Kendra, Brisa, Sienna, Catalina, Harlow, Mia, Jade, Waverly.

StephCripps · July 2011

one of the spunkiest girls I know is named Tressa

i also like the name someone suggested Scout.. pretty cute!

saham07 · July 2011

What about Maxine with the nn Maxey and Max? Very cute!

526SadieSadie · July 2011

I like Nicolette, it's for a baby that's too cool to be named just Nicole lol

If you say it reminds you too much of Chloe Sevigny's character on Big Love, I rest my case - she was badass

I guess your DH liked the TV show, Charmed, huh?

If you went with Reese, I'd think of Reese Witherspoon and her daughter, Ava (because of your older DD). Not a bad correlation, but it's my thought.

I actually like Harper. And Piper too (Piper Laurie).
