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?

I also think Maud or Connie could be pretty cool (in a
'classy faux original middle class cool' kind of way)

smother · 26/02/2014 17:22

manicinsomniac - I love your list, esp the 'classy faux original middle class cool' (not that i'd categorise myself or my family as being anywhere remotely like this description!)

one of the coolest little girls I've come across with a name to match was called Roxanne.

flowerygirl · 26/02/2014 17:02

I knew a girl called Flo and one called Reggie (short for Regina). They were pretty cool.

Please no one call their kid Viper. Doesn't that mean snake??

I love the name Harper, shame now it just makes everyone think of the Beckhams

trufflehunterthebadger · 26/02/2014 16:56

Ooh, my DD is Kitty. Well made up that it's cool :)

I know an Azalea, a Tiger, an Ocean and an Autumn, all of which I think ar pretty cool. I knew a few girls with names usually used for boys or gender neutral names (a Ryan, a Kynnedy and a Quinn) but don't think they're cool and don't like them. I also know a Sapphire, which I think is cool.

Strokethefurrywall · 26/02/2014 15:50

Darcy
Dylan (yes for a girl)
Sloane
Harper

I loved Dylan for a girl.

People are soooo conventional in their name choices, arent't they? Grin

nonmifairidere · 26/02/2014 14:30

Snowflake, Glacier, Freesia, Minus Five - cool enough for you?
