HelpRe: Savannah?
in reply to a message by Shannri
Savannah is an actual word, a grassy plain. I don't like creative spellings of traditional names and I hate misspelled words even more.
Afterall, how is she supposed to get the message to do well in school and spell words correctly, when her own parents misspelled the word "savannah?"
That said, Savannah Hope has a nice flow, but I tend to dislike two nouns together. It sounds like a soap opera set in Georgia or an animal planet show.
How about:
Savannah Claire
Savannah Jane
Savannah Lucy
Savannah Kay / Kate
Savannah Chloe
Savannah Britt (variant of Bridget)
Savannah Lauren / Laurie
I wouldn't worry about the length of the name. The nn might not be easy to control. The only viable alternative that I can think of is Annie.

Mary and Kay
I'm sorry. I missed the last sentence of your original post about Mary and Kay. In a sea of Brittneighs, Maddisyns and K8tlins, Mary and Kay are a breath of fresh air.
I know they were overly used in the past, but everyone is running away from names like these so fast that they are actually unique in this newest generation. If you just can't see yourself using Mary or Kay, how about a variant:
Maura / Moira / Maureen / Molly
Maren
Marie (nn Mimi?)
Mae
Marian / Marianne
Marisol (Mary + sun)
Miriam (nn Miri, Mimi or Mim?)
Mariska
Marina (nn Marnie?)
Mariah
Maria (nn Mia, Mitzi?)
Mia
Katrina
Catriona ("ca-TREE-uh-na" or "ca-TREE-na")
Catalina
Kathleen / Cathleen
Katherine (nn Kat, Kit, Kitty or Kay?)
Katrin
Kateri ("KAH-ter-ee")
Ekaterina (nn Katia / Katya)
Kaia ("KIE-uh")
I could see you with a little Mia Katherine or a Kaia Marie. :-)
