Girls names I likes the most

- Lisbeth
Origin:
German, diminutive of ElizabethDescription:
Lisbeth is one of the many short forms of Elizabeth that are used on their own. Not only is it the name of the mother of the main character in George Eliot's novel Adam Bede, but it takes on a whole new, powerful image as the heroine of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. Lizbeth is another spelling.
- Sugar
Origin:
Word nameDescription:
You can call your daughter Sugar, but it's probably best to keep it as a term of endearment. For sweet names, you try Dulcie, Honey, Mitsu, Amai, Sherine, Melita, Eulalia, or Melina, but Sugar does work as a generic nickname.

HebrewMeaning:
"lily"Description:

- Muffy
Origin:
Nickname nameDescription:
Muffy is one of those nickname names that flourished in the Baby Boom era -- or was it only on television? -- and now is rarely used.

This shorter variant offers a contemporary, friendly feel while maintaining its connection to the biblical name. Abbi gained popularity in the late 20th century as part of the trend toward informal nickname-style names used as given names.
