Storybook Girls

  1. Caddie
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Caroline, French
    • Meaning:

      "free man"
    • Description:

      Trapped somewhere in the nether region between Haddie and Catie, with the added confusion of sounding like someone who works on a golf course. Caddie Woodlawn was a TV heroine of the Old West in the 1980s. Caddie had its moment, but we don't see it becoming one of the more popular girl names starting with C.
  2. Trillian
    • Origin:

      Literary name
    • Description:

      Douglas Adams invented this name for a character (aka Tricia) in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It has a nice, trilly sound, and is accessible via its kinship with Gillian/Jillian.
  3. Hitty

      Diminutive of Mehitabel, Hebrew
