"The popular friendly pretty girl" type names?

[emiliaj]

OK, so I worked out what sort of names I like for girls... LOL
"The popular friendly pretty girl" type names. (Oh, and thanks Lori, you made me realise this is what I think of when I pick names).
You know that type of girl?
The one who is in dance classes, the one who boys chase in high school, the one who seems to attract a crowd of friends without even trying, the one who despite being popular is also a decent friend, the girl who is naturally pretty but not especially vein, the one who has a ready smile and giggles with people, an all round nice popular girl. (Not a Regina George type!)

What name/s fits that image to you?

[ashthedreamer]

Rebecca!

But you basically just described my little sister, lol, so that's why I instantly thought of it. That, and the nn Becca just seems to fit that vibe to me, very pretty but not vein at all and everyone adores her.

I think of a lot of popular names right now that way, as well--well, the softer ones:

Isabelle (or Isabella)
Olivia
Sophie
Charlotte
Elise
Hannah
Claire/Clara
Juliana
Liliana/Lily/Lillian

ha. Half of my list, I suppose. I guess that's why I really love Isabelle and Olivia, lol.

For what it's worth, I really see Erin fitting in, too, but then again, Becca's best friend is an Erin, and she pretty much fits the description you gave, too.

Good luck!

Brittany/Brittney
Summer/Sumer
Stefanie/Stephanie
Bridget
Courtney
Penny
Cadence/Kaydance
Ashley
Ashlyn
Rachel
Mandy
Veronica
Brianna
Erica/Erika
Lexi
Alexis
Miranda
Chelsea
Alyssa

I think this "style" can vary depending on who you know. I think people you know will change everyone's opinion on which names fit into this category. For me...


I also think this style is going to end with a vowel. Vowels tend to soften names up, making them feel flowy and happy.


Lucy
Natalie
Cassidy
Amelia
Maisie
Louisa
Felicity
Molly
Daisy
Luna
Delaney

Sophie is a name I keep coming back to.
Isabelle is very pretty, will have to run it past DH.
Charlotte is "the" mn we want, the whole family love the name so much I wonder if perhaps it is destined as the FN.
Elise- I have been fancying Eloise nn Lou Lou
Claire is on our possible mn list- Brooke and Claire.. hmm?
Can't have 'a' ending names with our LN. Sadly Rebecca ends in 'a', which is a shame because it does fit the bill.
Erin has that same feel to me too.


Oh, and BTW Brooke is that exact type of girl too.
Sometimes I wonder if her name made her that girl.

Poppy
Grace
Lucy
Olivia
Ellie
Harriet
Eva
Jessica
Sophia
Madeline

Sadly 'a' ending names are off the list due to out last name.
Madeline is a favourite of ours! Brooke loves Maddison nn Maddie.
I have considered Grace. Brooke and Grace...?

Courtney
Ashley
Ashlyn
Brianna
Chelsea
Alyssa

These names have all made our list at some stage.
Brooke was almost Brianna Eloise.
If you met my DD you would meet that girl- she is a delight, not a mean bone in her body- not a "mean girls" type at all. I have met a few, but they are indeed not often kind hearted as well. Brooke matched our DD so well- we say she is a babbling Brooke as she is so bubbly!
