Ok, I'm stuck on baby names. No idea what to call our DS and going a bit nuts.

Going to try something alternative...

Who is the coolest person you know and what is their name?

*just for laughs folks Smile

There’s a Cobain in DD’s class. I don’t usually like surname names but I think that’s pretty cool.

I always thought the name Marcel was cool until I dated one, he was an abusive psychopath so that’s that name destroyed Grin.

I think Sebastian is a cool name but everyone I know that has met a Sebastian said they were absolute twats.

@LoveInTokyo we know, I made this thread for a laugh. Think it's quite obvious that we don't actually think a name makes a person!

I think this thread shows that a person’s name does not make them cool eg Gary, Kevin, Graham.

LoveInTokyo · 05/07/2018 09:47

Yeah but aren’t about 50% of the kids at your DCs’ school called Alfie and Ava?

Vintagegirl77 · 05/07/2018 09:39

Rob, David, Dan, Lauren, Katherine, Kerry, Tom are some cool people I know. Nothing cool about their names. I've never heard them say that they wish they had a really cool name!

The coolest kids at my dcs school are called Alfie and Ava.

It’s the person, their personality and their achievements that makes them cool, not nominative determinism.

James

I also know a very uncool James.

Coolness is not related to names.

And Bruce: I can think of two, one is admittedly feline

Candyflip · 05/07/2018 07:11

Yoli, (short for Yolanda) Hestia and Erik.
Keepit how are you pronouncing Xo? My cousin is Xiomara, we call her Zee. I love that name!

Giggorata · 05/07/2018 07:10

Irene and Jake (not a couple) are the coolest people I know.

bellinisurge · 05/07/2018 07:09

Coolest people I know are women. But one is called Robin if that is any use to you.

MadisonAvenue · 05/07/2018 07:05

Joe
Billy

Okay, Billy is my dog but he is SO incredibly cool.

Nathan

I know someone who called their son hendrix
With a name like that he will have to grow up to be cool right?

TigerDroveAgain · 05/07/2018 06:49

Alex
Michael
Gareth. I predict a huge glut of baby Gareths, all born wearing weskits

Toodamnhot · 05/07/2018 06:38

I think it’s a good question but I’ve realised I don’t know anybody cool.

Coolest boys I know are Daniel and Tchoui (pronounced chewy) but I don't think that would work if you are not African.

Chetwin, known as Chet. Four generations of my family all think he is cool.
