I've heard of a Bamboo.

My mums name has appeared more than once and she would be horrified that it's making a comeback Shock

I am probably the least hipster person ever (unless being completely clueless to trends is actually the most hipster you can be) and my dd's name is on the list. Also like most of the names on the lists. Apart from Gary 😂

Kittykatmacbill · 22/02/2018 18:07

Both dd’s names are on here! And most of their short lists.

Would definitely say that faintly Celtic names (Iona and Isla) are not hipster.

I also know one little hipster girl called Eppie. Apparently not short for anything. I thought it was Effie, perhaps a nn for Euphemia, but no.

The Corben I know is definitely with an e, not as in Jeremy. Mother was very specific about this when introducing me so suspect she'd had a few other comments Grin

MerryMarigold · 22/02/2018 11:21

Oh yes, job names/ surnames especially traditional jobs. I can imagine a little Gardener/Gardiner, Farrier, Bo'sun, Feroner, Forrester, Glover etc

Flomper, isn't there a new generation of hipster? Who do have toddlers. Or was it all a phase? I live in Essex so have no idea Grin.
