O'Shea, Shaunessy, Killian, McDonough, and for any cat with whte feet: McMittens|||It you want the names to be really Irish, it's Paddy (not Patty) and Seamus (not Shamis)
Most Irish first names are crazy weird. Irish surnames are better. Here a list: http://www.namenerds.com/irish/last.html

Baby Naming Issue: Will the Rising Popularity of Mila Make Milo Seem Too Girly?

Milo is one of my own favorite boy names, and was on the Final Three list for my youngest, so it is safe to say I am greatly in favor.
Some of the warning signs for a name "going girl" include: a gentle sound to the name (Noah, for example); having an easy feminine nickname (Ellie for Elliot, for example); the boys being done with it for now (Sydney, for example). Milo has the first but not the second or third.
I think sometimes having a feminine version of a name can encourage people to use the boyish version for girls---but other times it protects the boyish version. To use dated examples, having Paul and Paula seems to make people less likely to use Paul for a girl, not more. Same with Carl/Carla, and Robert/Roberta, and Eric/Erica: it makes it additionally confusing to use the masculine version for a girl, since a feminine version already exists. Instead of the masculine version seeming androgynous, it seems fully boy. [An anonymous commenter brings up a great current example: Oliver and Olivia.]
But does this apply with more modern versions? There's Kyle and Kylie/Kylee/Kyleigh---and Kylie is rising as Kyle falls. As Kylie is used more and Kyle is used less, what happens to Kyle for girls?
2000: 53 female Kyles; 11,964 male Kyles
2001: 56 female Kyles; 10,566 male Kyles
2002: 45 female Kyles; 10,059 male Kyles
2003: 61 female Kyles; 8,646 male Kyles
2004: 74 female Kyles; 7,818 male Kyles
2005: 38 female Kyles; 6,680 male Kyles
2006: 47 female Kyles; 6,147 male Kyles
2007: 41 female Kyles; 5,346 male Kyles
2008: 30 female Kyles; 4,694 male Kyles
2009: 34 female Kyles; 4,162 male Kyles
2010: 33 female Kyles; 3,560 male Kyles
2011: 57 female Kyles; 3,233 male Kyles
It's kind of hard to see a big obvious pattern, isn't it? The name Kyle is going steadily and obviously down for boys, but it's hopping all over the place for girls.
So how does all this apply for Milo/Mila? Well...that's why I'm just sort of talking around it, without seeming to make any clear points: I can't tell. Maybe the increasing popularity of Mila for girls will increase in a parallel way with Milo as the sounds come into style together. Maybe the increasing popularity of Mila will make some parents think of Milo for girls. Maybe the increasing popularity of Mila will make Milo even more solidly a boy name.
If you want my personal guess, it's that some people will always use "boy names" for girls---but that Milo is not likely to become "a girl name." There were fewer female babies named Milo in 2011 than there were female babies named Jonathan (12 vs. 20).
And we've already had a test period for this as the name Miley/Mylee/Myleigh came into style without causing Milo to become popular for girls.
But the rising popularity of a similar name for girls may make some parents wary of the name, making it less common for boys. Every time a name comes up, someone will mention that they know a baby girl (or three) with that name. There might be hardly any female babies with the name compared to the number of male babies with the name, but the impression sticks: people say "Watch out!"---and parents do. And other parents think, "It's going girl? I didn't like it for a boy, but I do like it for a girl!" [Thanks, Nedra, for pointing out a major data fail: something was amiss with my files, and the number of female names in the example I originally used here was significantly different than I wrote. I've fixed the error here by taking out the specific example, and I'm looking into finding out what went wrong.]
So far there's no indication that Everett is going to turn into a girl name, either. The Social Security database shows 14 female babies named Everett in 2011, and another 6 named Everette. That's nothing, relatively speaking: even Henry was given to 7 girls, and 22 were named Matthew. The similar name Evan was given to 99 baby girls. (Hayes was given to 286 boys and 16 girls.)
If it were me, I'd consider Milo and Everett both safe choices, and I think both go well with Blythe. If you want to play it extra safe, your traditional middle name options are great for that: if the unexpected occurs and the first name becomes popular for girls, there's a good completely masculine middle name to go by instead. (Or maybe not: 9 baby girls were named Charles in 2011! And another 9 baby girls named Robert! And 18 named David, and 36 named Michael!)
Other names that sprang to mind while writing the post: Simon, Isaac, Oliver, Warren, Emmett, Felix, Malcolm.
I LOVE your blog and we need some major baby-naming help! My husband and I are 2 weeks away from having our first child, a boy – due June 5th - and are completely stuck on names! I have been thinking about names for a while now and did not think I’d be in this situation. We just can’t make a decision!
My name is Katie and my husband is Daniel, but goes almost exclusively by Danny (and has since he was very young). Our last name sounds like “Lawson”. Our original criteria for names was…
1. Not super popular (Our last name is relatively common and I don’t want my child to have a common first and last name.)
2. Not girly at all (I would prefer not to have a name that could crossover and ‘go girl’. I know this is hard to predict, but would like to avoid if possible.)
Our current front-runner is Milo. We both really like it, but are worried now since all the buzz about the rising girl’s name Mila. Will the popularity of Mila make Milo seem more girly and/or more like an afterthought? Do you think Milo is too soft? We like that it is uncommon, but not ‘made-up’ or new, but can’t decide if it is just right for our baby.
Other names in consideration are…
- Henry (I love, but husband does not… thinks it sounds too ‘rich’ or ‘fancy’, also it may be too common)
- Silas (I’m not sold on this one)
- Lucas/Luke (too common?)
- Walter/Walt (I love, but husband thinks it is too much of a potential tease-magnet..)
- Everett (will it cross-over to the girls?)
- Hayes
Names that we like but can’t use due to friends/family/etc: Evan, Owen, Cole, Elias, Arlo, Jack (due to the Titanic association with our last name), Leo (slight Titanic association…), Chase
For the middle name, we are hoping to use a family name. Options are Michael, Charles, Robert, David, Walter, or Matthew (We would consider these for first names, as we’d love to have even more family connections in the name, but most of them are too common for us.)
Oh and we do hope to have more kids. For a girl, our top pick is Blythe which is pretty rare, so I am not sure how some of these names would match up with that…
So, as you can tell, we are kind of all over the place… Any advice?!? What do you think of Milo??
Thank you for reading.

Baby Naming Issue: Using One Side's Naming Tradition or the Other Side's Honor Name?

Rachel writes:
It's so pleasing and refreshing to read how considerate both sides are being: your in-laws don't want to force you to use their naming tradition, and you feel bad about the idea of abandoning it. It sounds like everyone is being very understanding, and that there won't be hard feelings no matter what you decide. In some ways this makes things more difficult, because it makes me want to make everyone happy, instead of making me want to say, "Traditions are not requirements!! Everyone gets to name their own baby!!" Instead I find myself thinking, "Gosh, it would be a shame to lose that tradition..."
The solution that leaps out at me is to use your dad's name in the first-name slot. This lets you honor him and also meet the naming tradition of your husband's side of the family. Eric Joseph Trude11e is my top choice. It takes away some of the fun of choosing the name, since in a sense both names are chosen for you---but I think it trades a good level of satisfaction and honor and problem-solving for the fun it extracts. As a long-term investment, I think it's a good one---and for your NEXT baby you can choose both the names and that will be even more fun to have that new experience.
I'm not sure what my second choice would be. Two middle names doesn't quite please: it seems to diminish both honors too much. On the other hand, it does make sure you'll get to use both. Using a different name from your husband's side seems like the worst of both worlds: a double middle name AND not using their tradition. I'd rather use two middle names that didn't go beautifully together, but have one of them be Joseph.
Using your dad's name for a second boy works better than trying to bend the first-son naming tradition to use it for a second boy (the next generation would be a little stuck: would the secondborn boy use Joseph for his firstborn son, or would the not-named-Joseph firstborn pick up the tradition again for his son?), so that would argue for the Joseph-then-dad order of turn-taking---but the possibility of then not having a second boy makes me very nervous. It would help so much if we could just KNOW what selection of children we would need to find names for, so we could PLAN!
I guess that my second choice would be to gamble on having a second boy (or plan on using Erica for a daughter's middle name), especially if you're planning more than one additional child. It IS a gamble, but I think if you don't want to use your dad's name in the first-name slot for this child, it's my favorite second-best option. (Though I could also get behind the plan to use your dad's name as the middle name and abandon the Joseph tradition.) I might then increase the honor by giving a second son two middle names: your dad's first and last. If Eric is your dad's first name, then, I'd name a second son ______ Eric Erland Trude11e. (That does create a lot of possible initial-spellings, though: FEET, MEET, etc.)
If you instead choose to go with two middle names, I'd use Joseph and whichever name is your dad's first name, and choose the order based on the sound with the first and last names. I don't think the sound/flow matters overly much: two middle names is going to make things a bit bulky, so I'd just go for the best you can do. The middle names are likely to all but vanish after the birth announcements go out.
I think the Miles/miles connection is a nice meaning for the two of you, but something I'd keep private to avoid the pun-related eye-rolling and subsequent inevitable jokes ("What will you name your next child, 'Kilometers'? Har har har!").
Felix is one of my own current favorites, and I think the cartoon-cat association will fade as the name becomes more popular (and will fade for your family as soon as they see their own little Felix). Considering the cat has been out of production/style since the silent movie era, I'm a little surprised the association lingers as much as it has; it would be like having people say "Like CHAPLIN??" for every baby named Charlie. I have a stronger association with the 35-year-old TV show The Odd Couple, but neither association seems deal-breaking to me. The answer to "Oh, like the cat??" or "Oh, like Felix Unger??" is a smiling, puzzled "...No. It's a family name." But it seems like using a first name, middle name, AND surname from your husband's side is getting too uneven. Perhaps the first son could be Eric Joseph, and the second could be Felix Erland.
August doesn't seem feminine to me, though it's less boys-only than the other names on your list: 116 girls and 705 boys in 2011, according to the Social Security Administration.
And Thomas and Henry are both good solid choices too. I really think you have a good list to choose from.
What does everyone else think they should do about the two honor names?
I’ve been a daily reader of your blog, even beforepregnancy, and would be honored to receive some advice from you (and yourreaders)! Ever since I asked for ababy name book for my birthday in junior high, I’ve been in love with names—butnaming my own child has been trickier than I thought!
My name is Rachel and my husband is Steve and we’reexpecting our first baby, a boy, August 1st. Our last name is Trude11e.
When we found out we’re having a boy, I knew I’d get stuckon the middle name. My husband’smiddle name is Joseph, and it has been a tradition for many generations to giveJoseph as a middle name to the first-born son in the family. However, I lost my dad when Iwas 19 and have hoped to use one of his names, Eric or Stewart, in the middlename spot. My husband knows thatthis is important to me, and his family has even said that we can drop theJoseph tradition if we want to. Ifeel bad doing this though, and wonder if I should just wait to honor my dad ina future baby’s name somehow. Another option is giving this baby two middle names, but I am not surehow Joseph Eric, Eric Joseph, Joseph Stewart, or Stewart Joseph soundtogether. I’ve even consideredtrying part of my maiden name (Erland), which I feel would also honor my fatherand my grandfather. But again, I’m just not sure about the flow (Joseph Erlandisn’t really the cutest). Or, Iwould feel better dropping Joseph if we used another family name from myhusband’s side. For example, mydad’s name and my father in law’s would make the middle name combo EricPaul. My husband has said hedoesn’t really like two middle names, and I go back and forth on it.
I wish I weren’t so consumed with the middlename/tradition/honor issue because it totally takes some of the fun away frompicking a first name (your advice to first-time parents about trying not tochoose a middle name first is so true!). When it comes to first names, we seem to have two different namingstyles that we like: Timeless and Antique Charm. We had many girls names weliked, including Claire, Clara, Eliza, Lucy…but of course we’ll have to waitand see if we can ever use them! Here’s what we’ve come up with for our favorites, but are still lookingout for others we love.
Thomas: We like the nickname Tom, and even the alliterationof Tom Trude11e
Henry: I wentthrough a streak of loving Henry and the nickname Hank, but now we’re just okwith it.
August: Both of us like this name and the nicknamepossibilities (Augie and Gus) but we’ve received negative feedback from family(everything from it sounds “feminine” to “what if he’s born in July?”). I’m also not sure if the blending ofAugust with the T last name is a problem.
Miles: Also afavorite for both of us. Iactually like Milo as a nickname, even though I know it’s a stand-alonechoice. We’re both runners and meton the cross-country team (so miles has that meaning for us too), but we’vereceived some eye rolls for this. Is that an annoying connection?
Felix: Probablyour favorite choice at the moment. Felix is a family name (Felix Joseph was one of my husband’s ancestors)and my husband really loves it. Ilike it too, even though my family members aren’t fans (they all say “like thecat??”).
Do any of these seem to flow nicely with our middle name ornames? What do you think aboutdropping a family tradition in order to honor someone? I’d love any advice!
Thanks so much,

I would not restrict yourselves to C names unless you decide you like the idea, especially since you might have a third child. Right now, the three C's are noticeable---but generally parents' names are not included in the sibling group of their children. If your next child is not a C-name, anyone who asks why you didn't stick with C's can be given a blank look and then told "...Oh, no, we didn't choose a C name on purpose the first time. That was just the name we liked best."
Quinn seems like a very good fit with Campbell, and the hard-C-sound beginning helps her to seem like she fits even better with all the other hard-C names in the family. We did a middle name challenge for the name Quinn awhile back; maybe some of those names will work. I like Quinn Elise or Quinn Louise or Quinn Simone.
Quincy would also work, and that would go nicely with the middle name Kate.
Marley also works well. Marley Kate would be nice.
Charlotte, Sara Kate, Lila Kate, and Claire/Clara all seem too traditional and feminine to pair with Campbell. I think I'd look at options more like:

We have just passed the 33 week mark with our second baby girl, and we are having a TOUGH time with names! We are Chris and Candice Blackford. Our daughter (2 1/2 years old) is Campbell. When we named Campbell (middle name Marie), we really didn't intend to create a family of all "C" names...we just really liked the name Campbell. But, now that we are having our second, we're facing a dilema. On one hand, people keep commenting to me that we "have" to choose another "C" name because anything else will sound awkward. On the other hand, I feel like it might be a little cheesy for us to all have the same first initial - it is definitely not something I would have set out to accomplish! We're not sure if we will try to have a third child, but it is still a possibility. So, my first question is...should we focus only on "C" names?? And, either way, we just need help! Since Campbell is not an overtly feminine name, we aren't sure which way to go for the second girl. Also, we live in the Northeast, but I'm from the deep South, so I tend to like names that sound a little southern (but this is not an absolute requirement). Some of our current favorites... Quinn (we both really like this name, but we're stumped on a middle name)Charlotte (we're kind of 50/50 on this one)Sara Kate (to be used as a double name...and if so, should we name her Sara Katherine and call her Sara Kate?)Lila Kate (same comments as Sara Kate)Claire/ClaraMarley We are very open to suggestions, so please help!! Thanks so much!

I would like to see it used as a nickname (maybe spelled Persy or Persey or Persie) for the name Persephone, which, now that Penelope and Hermione and Phoebe are familiar, I see no reason we can't bring into fashion. PERSEPHONE. It's time.
I think Percy would also work well as a given name. Tracy, Stacy, Lacy, Macy, Lucy, Gracie, Marcy, Mercy, Darcy, Percy. And the boys seem to be done with all the -cy names for now.
What do you think of Percy as a girl name? Let's have a poll over to the right!
I've been thinking about the name Percy recently, but for a girl. To me it's a perfect little girl name- feminine but spunky. But I'm not sure the world is ready for Percy to cross over yet and I'd be interested in what you and your readers think. Are the Thomas the Tank Engine and Percy Weasley associations too strong?

Baby Girl A., Sister to Aden, Evan, and Evelyn

I think Evelyn and Avery have two things working against them as sister names: they're (1) too similar and (2) too different. The sounds are so similar I immediately start getting tangled and saying Avelyn and Every and Everly and Averlyn, but the styles are quite different. And since you already have an Evan and an Evelyn, I wouldn't add a third vowel/V combination like Avery.
I think Abigail would work well. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Abigail. Both boys have two syllables, both girls have three.
Or Amelia would be nice, and gives the girls both 6 letters and the boys both 4: Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Amelia.
Or Alice would be my favorite, I think: Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Alice.
I'm slightly tempted to work with the Ev/Ev you already have, and go with an Ad/Ad to coordinate. Something like Adeline or Adelaide or Adrienne. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Adeline.
Or I like both Aubrey and Audrey. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Aubrey. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Audrey. Audrey would give a hint of the Ev/Ev/Ad/Ad idea, if you wanted it.
Anneliese/Annalise has some of the sound of Annika. Aden and Evan, Evelyn and Annalise.
I need help with naming my 4th child & second daughter; I am due at the end of September. My two boys are Aden and Evan, and my girl's name is Evelyn. I like the name Avery; does it go well with Evelyn for a sister's name? I am a little hesitant on the name Avery because of its meaning, elf ruler. My husband has the name Annika in mind but I do not like it.:-) I would like to stay with names starting with letter A. My boys' initials are A & E, so I like the girls' initials to be E & A. :-) Isn't that corny?!!! :-) I would love to hear your suggestions.

Baby Naming Issue: Using One Side's Naming Tradition or the Other Side's Honor Name?
To contact us Click HERE
Rachel writes:
It's so pleasing and refreshing to read how considerate both sides are being: your in-laws don't want to force you to use their naming tradition, and you feel bad about the idea of abandoning it. It sounds like everyone is being very understanding, and that there won't be hard feelings no matter what you decide. In some ways this makes things more difficult, because it makes me want to make everyone happy, instead of making me want to say, "Traditions are not requirements!! Everyone gets to name their own baby!!" Instead I find myself thinking, "Gosh, it would be a shame to lose that tradition..."
The solution that leaps out at me is to use your dad's name in the first-name slot. This lets you honor him and also meet the naming tradition of your husband's side of the family. Eric Joseph Trude11e is my top choice. It takes away some of the fun of choosing the name, since in a sense both names are chosen for you---but I think it trades a good level of satisfaction and honor and problem-solving for the fun it extracts. As a long-term investment, I think it's a good one---and for your NEXT baby you can choose both the names and that will be even more fun to have that new experience.
I'm not sure what my second choice would be. Two middle names doesn't quite please: it seems to diminish both honors too much. On the other hand, it does make sure you'll get to use both. Using a different name from your husband's side seems like the worst of both worlds: a double middle name AND not using their tradition. I'd rather use two middle names that didn't go beautifully together, but have one of them be Joseph.
Using your dad's name for a second boy works better than trying to bend the first-son naming tradition to use it for a second boy (the next generation would be a little stuck: would the secondborn boy use Joseph for his firstborn son, or would the not-named-Joseph firstborn pick up the tradition again for his son?), so that would argue for the Joseph-then-dad order of turn-taking---but the possibility of then not having a second boy makes me very nervous. It would help so much if we could just KNOW what selection of children we would need to find names for, so we could PLAN!
I guess that my second choice would be to gamble on having a second boy (or plan on using Erica for a daughter's middle name), especially if you're planning more than one additional child. It IS a gamble, but I think if you don't want to use your dad's name in the first-name slot for this child, it's my favorite second-best option. (Though I could also get behind the plan to use your dad's name as the middle name and abandon the Joseph tradition.) I might then increase the honor by giving a second son two middle names: your dad's first and last. If Eric is your dad's first name, then, I'd name a second son ______ Eric Erland Trude11e. (That does create a lot of possible initial-spellings, though: FEET, MEET, etc.)
If you instead choose to go with two middle names, I'd use Joseph and whichever name is your dad's first name, and choose the order based on the sound with the first and last names. I don't think the sound/flow matters overly much: two middle names is going to make things a bit bulky, so I'd just go for the best you can do. The middle names are likely to all but vanish after the birth announcements go out.
I think the Miles/miles connection is a nice meaning for the two of you, but something I'd keep private to avoid the pun-related eye-rolling and subsequent inevitable jokes ("What will you name your next child, 'Kilometers'? Har har har!").
Felix is one of my own current favorites, and I think the cartoon-cat association will fade as the name becomes more popular (and will fade for your family as soon as they see their own little Felix). Considering the cat has been out of production/style since the silent movie era, I'm a little surprised the association lingers as much as it has; it would be like having people say "Like CHAPLIN??" for every baby named Charlie. I have a stronger association with the 35-year-old TV show The Odd Couple, but neither association seems deal-breaking to me. The answer to "Oh, like the cat??" or "Oh, like Felix Unger??" is a smiling, puzzled "...No. It's a family name." But it seems like using a first name, middle name, AND surname from your husband's side is getting too uneven. Perhaps the first son could be Eric Joseph, and the second could be Felix Erland.
August doesn't seem feminine to me, though it's less boys-only than the other names on your list: 116 girls and 705 boys in 2011, according to the Social Security Administration.
And Thomas and Henry are both good solid choices too. I really think you have a good list to choose from.
What does everyone else think they should do about the two honor names?
I’ve been a daily reader of your blog, even beforepregnancy, and would be honored to receive some advice from you (and yourreaders)! Ever since I asked for ababy name book for my birthday in junior high, I’ve been in love with names—butnaming my own child has been trickier than I thought!
My name is Rachel and my husband is Steve and we’reexpecting our first baby, a boy, August 1st. Our last name is Trude11e.
When we found out we’re having a boy, I knew I’d get stuckon the middle name. My husband’smiddle name is Joseph, and it has been a tradition for many generations to giveJoseph as a middle name to the first-born son in the family. However, I lost my dad when Iwas 19 and have hoped to use one of his names, Eric or Stewart, in the middlename spot. My husband knows thatthis is important to me, and his family has even said that we can drop theJoseph tradition if we want to. Ifeel bad doing this though, and wonder if I should just wait to honor my dad ina future baby’s name somehow. Another option is giving this baby two middle names, but I am not surehow Joseph Eric, Eric Joseph, Joseph Stewart, or Stewart Joseph soundtogether. I’ve even consideredtrying part of my maiden name (Erland), which I feel would also honor my fatherand my grandfather. But again, I’m just not sure about the flow (Joseph Erlandisn’t really the cutest). Or, Iwould feel better dropping Joseph if we used another family name from myhusband’s side. For example, mydad’s name and my father in law’s would make the middle name combo EricPaul. My husband has said hedoesn’t really like two middle names, and I go back and forth on it.
I wish I weren’t so consumed with the middlename/tradition/honor issue because it totally takes some of the fun away frompicking a first name (your advice to first-time parents about trying not tochoose a middle name first is so true!). When it comes to first names, we seem to have two different namingstyles that we like: Timeless and Antique Charm. We had many girls names weliked, including Claire, Clara, Eliza, Lucy…but of course we’ll have to waitand see if we can ever use them! Here’s what we’ve come up with for our favorites, but are still lookingout for others we love.
Thomas: We like the nickname Tom, and even the alliterationof Tom Trude11e
Henry: I wentthrough a streak of loving Henry and the nickname Hank, but now we’re just okwith it.
August: Both of us like this name and the nicknamepossibilities (Augie and Gus) but we’ve received negative feedback from family(everything from it sounds “feminine” to “what if he’s born in July?”). I’m also not sure if the blending ofAugust with the T last name is a problem.
Miles: Also afavorite for both of us. Iactually like Milo as a nickname, even though I know it’s a stand-alonechoice. We’re both runners and meton the cross-country team (so miles has that meaning for us too), but we’vereceived some eye rolls for this. Is that an annoying connection?
Felix: Probablyour favorite choice at the moment. Felix is a family name (Felix Joseph was one of my husband’s ancestors)and my husband really loves it. Ilike it too, even though my family members aren’t fans (they all say “like thecat??”).
Do any of these seem to flow nicely with our middle name ornames? What do you think aboutdropping a family tradition in order to honor someone? I’d love any advice!
Thanks so much,

Baby Girl T@ylor: Looking for a Name with Sass
To contact us Click HERE
S. writes:
Gwendolyn is my favorite from the list as well. I don't think everyone will always call her Gwen unless you establish it that way (nicknames are much less common/assumed than they used to be), and I think the full name has the drama you're looking for. It sounds refined/dignified to me, but also fiery/quirky and also sweet/gentle---a very nice range of options for a child whose personality remains to be seen.
I'd also suggest Genevieve and Georgia. Both have that same range of options, sweet to fiery, plus good nicknames for even more flexibility. I especially recommend Georgia because of your possible interest in boyish names for girls: Georgia lets you use Georgie and George as nicknames, while still giving an official name that is unmistakably girl. Georgia also has the ultra-sass nickname Gigi. But Genevieve has good ones too: Genna, Genny, Evie, Vee.
My next choice from your list is Fiona. Tons of sass and spirit and energy, and yet I can also picture it on a quiet bookish girl.
And I suggest Francesca. Frannie and Chess are both great nicknames, and the name is full of personality and flair.
I think a decade ago, Penelope might have been more whimsical than what you were looking for. But its recent rapid rise in popularity should help considerably with that: according to the Social Security Administration, it appeared in the Top 1000 in 2001 at #946; just ten years later in 2011, it was already at #169. It still has an appealing whimsy, but I don't think it'll sound cutesy by the time all those Penelopes hit the workforce.
Two of my own Shakespearean favorites are Bianca and Imogen.
If you like boyish names for girls, I suggest putting one in the middle name slot. It gives your girl the option of using it if it suits her, without giving as much trouble with future sibling names. Gwendolyn Elliot, Georgia Dylan, Cecelia Grey, Francesca Quinn, Fiona Wesley, Bianca Riley, Imogen Sterling, Penelope August.
If initials are important to you, I'll point out that Jacqueline/Juliet E. T@ylor both spell JET, and Gwendolyn/Genevieve/Georgia E. T@ylor gives you GET.

My boyfriend and I are having trouble selecting a name despite a long list we've managed to narrow down. We love Shakespeare and intially were looking to tie in names with a meaning in some way. We also anticipate a spunky, fiery daughter so we want her name to have some sass!
FYI: Last name T@ylor.
These are the names we've been stuck on for quite a while, though my dear beau has his favorite that I've been leaning towards but still cant commit to...I still have other favorites in this mix.
Jaqueline Elise T@ylor
Juliet Elena T@ylor
Penelope Corinne T@ylor
Fiona Wren T@ylor
Cecelia Pearl T@ylor
Camryn Kay T@ylor
Elliot Reese T@ylor
Marlowe Maeve T@ylor
Gwendolyn Elena T@ylor
We did, for the most part, nix Jacqueline. Mostly because he's always pronounced the name like "Jaclyn" and I've always loved it as a 3 syllable name with the "que" pronounced smoothly as in "question" and I'd hate going through life hearing it pronounced incorrectly (in my opinion - ha!). His sister begged us to avoid Jacqueline due to horrid nicknames, which I don't mind as much - kids will be kids. But there's also the potential of us having another child in the future and my dear partner has always favored "Jack" for a boy.
The middle name Elena stems from "Helena" in Midsummer. Obviously there are a number of other names related to Shakespeare on the list as well I won't single out. Marlowe is from the playwright Christopher Marlowe - a very interesting man with ties to Shakespeare. We like nicknames for a child - but do prefer an adult-sounding adult name, if you will, which causes me to feel slightly hung up about Penelope - though I do love that name. Might be too cutesy, I don't know...
I also have some reservations about Elliott, as I'm fearful the nickname will be Ellie which is nearly identical to my own name (lacking a few consonants) and that's far too rhymey for me.
(I'll also mention we've gone through a number of boyish names for our girl in addition to Elliott/Camryn we've considered Dylan, Dru, Charlie, Griffin and a variety of others I can't recall at this moment...)
Marlowe has been in the top for me since the beginning - I'm open to alternate spellings - but don't know how I feel about people calling her Marley, given the dog and/or the Bob reference. I do favor Cecelia Pearl and Fiona Wren as well.
The boyfriend has been partial to Gwendolyn Elena (he enjoys the lyrical flow) for quite some time now and I've nearly convinced myself of OFFICIALLY selecting this as her name. But I worry that it's quite a refined name for what I hope will be a quirky chickadee. Also, if everyone ALWAYS calls her Gwen - why name her Gwendolyn? As it's such a wonderfully lovely name...
I'm all torn up as you can see!
Anyway - that's far too much information, I am sure. Maybe you can steer me in a clear direction or offer up some alternatives? I'd love to hear some thoughts from your commenters as well.
Thank you so much!
Gwendolyn is my favorite from the list as well. I don't think everyone will always call her Gwen unless you establish it that way (nicknames are much less common/assumed than they used to be), and I think the full name has the drama you're looking for. It sounds refined/dignified to me, but also fiery/quirky and also sweet/gentle---a very nice range of options for a child whose personality remains to be seen.
I'd also suggest Genevieve and Georgia. Both have that same range of options, sweet to fiery, plus good nicknames for even more flexibility. I especially recommend Georgia because of your possible interest in boyish names for girls: Georgia lets you use Georgie and George as nicknames, while still giving an official name that is unmistakably girl. Georgia also has the ultra-sass nickname Gigi. But Genevieve has good ones too: Genna, Genny, Evie, Vee.
My next choice from your list is Fiona. Tons of sass and spirit and energy, and yet I can also picture it on a quiet bookish girl.
And I suggest Francesca. Frannie and Chess are both great nicknames, and the name is full of personality and flair.
I think a decade ago, Penelope might have been more whimsical than what you were looking for. But its recent rapid rise in popularity should help considerably with that: according to the Social Security Administration, it appeared in the Top 1000 in 2001 at #946; just ten years later in 2011, it was already at #169. It still has an appealing whimsy, but I don't think it'll sound cutesy by the time all those Penelopes hit the workforce.
Two of my own Shakespearean favorites are Bianca and Imogen.
If you like boyish names for girls, I suggest putting one in the middle name slot. It gives your girl the option of using it if it suits her, without giving as much trouble with future sibling names. Gwendolyn Elliot, Georgia Dylan, Cecelia Grey, Francesca Quinn, Fiona Wesley, Bianca Riley, Imogen Sterling, Penelope August.
If initials are important to you, I'll point out that Jacqueline/Juliet E. T@ylor both spell JET, and Gwendolyn/Genevieve/Georgia E. T@ylor gives you GET.
