Appreciate this style isn’t to everyone’s taste & ‘you won’t know what she’ll be like’ has been thrown around but then you don’t know if she’ll be sickly sweet when you call a little girl daisy? You may recognise me from the Connie or Frankie thread! Grin I still feel like I’m looking for that perfect cool name for our second little girl! Please give me all your amazing suggestions, you’ve all been so helpful so far!

I'm sure you think you're bucking gender stereotyping but your mindset clearly buys straight into it.

(They don't have to be Tudor names!)

Juno?

Do you actively want a name that could be for a boy or a girl?
Or do you just not want a name that refers to flowers, gems, or feminine characteristics?
If the latter then many of the traditional girls' names will fit the bill.
E.g. Elizabeth, Mary, Katherine, Anne etc.

Cool names don’t have to be boy’s names.
