The coolest little girls names you've heard

Going on from the boy thread. I'm 14 weeks so don't know what I'm having yet but I have the feeling its a girl. Only problem is we have a boys list a mile long but only some ok girls names.

I love Teddy, Tyger, Wolf, Fox, Dexter etc for boys but can't seem to find any names like this for girls. Any ideas?

Igraine. Mother of King Arthur.

Royal but totally bad-ass if shorted to Iggy.

Astrid is top of my list for a girl.

My daughters name is Iseult...which I think is pretty cool. I also went to school with a Phaedra, she wasn't in the least bit tragic she was very cool and was known by everyone as Fred

My DD is called Primrose Smile

Hero
Juniper
Beatrix

overmydeadbody · 28/02/2014 20:06

Greta is also cool

And Peta. I think Peta is a very cool name indeed.

Ahem, 'has' not 'as'

My DD's name as appeared 4 times here! We loved it for years before we had her.

LittleCutiePie · 28/02/2014 19:51

Two of my dds names are here! They are v spirited girls, full of personality. Their names really suit them. I wasn't sure if I was brave enough to use one of the names but in the end we went for it and are glad we did.

Have to say aswell if we have a third dd her name is here too. I really love different names.

My dd is Astrid and several from our short list have been mentioned too. We must be very cool.

I love Xanthe.

indieakka · 28/02/2014 19:12

Neela and Daria are two that I love along these lines....

ThoughSheBeButLittle · 28/02/2014 18:43

My DD was very nearly Astrid or Artemis but ended up as Xanthe.

I liked the X and the fact it was reputed to be the name of one of the Amazon warriors made it seem a bit kick-ass.

I like Ludo (traditionally short for the male name Ludovic in France), as a shortening of Ludivine.

"If anyone called their kids those names where I live, people would just laugh."

Well, I'm delighted I don't live where you live! Sounds awful.
