Glamorous names

Looking for more suggestions for names I can only describe as quite glamours, simply because of associations though: think Mae West, Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn, Deanna Durbin, Greta Garbo... I just love love LOVE!

Can't find the one that my husband loves too though, so hoping you can help. We love something quite strong sounding, not too feminine sounding and smart.

Zsa Zsa always seemed glamorous to me as a child after I came across it as the name of a poodle in my ‘Puppy in my Pocket’ collection. Grin

MikeUniformMike · 16/07/2020 16:23

How about:
Hedy (Lamarr) or Loretta (Young) or Veronica (Lake).

MikeUniformMike · 16/07/2020 16:19

I think they're glamorous because of who they're associated with.
This.

Joan (Collins)
Grace (Kelly)
Marilyn (Monroe)
Ava (Gardner)
Elizabeth (Taylor)
Vivien (Leigh)
Jean (Harlowe)
Barbara (Stanwyck)
Carole (Lombard)
Debbie (Reynolds)

They are granny names apart from Ava, which I dislike, and Grace.

SuperStay7 · 16/07/2020 15:01

I’ve always thought Valentina is a very ‘glamorous’ name.

Also:

Diana
Sophia (although it’s very popular)

And I used to think Ghislaine 😬

Angelica
Virginia
Josephine

Toilenstripes · 16/07/2020 14:44

This could massively backfire if your daughter gets named Calypso or Gilda when she’s clearly headed for a life in academia studying amoeba in the North Pole.

villainousbroodmare · 16/07/2020 14:44

Gloria
Stella

Destroyedpeople · 16/07/2020 14:39

Ooh I do like Calypso. ...

Marlena
Ramona
Roxana
Tallulah
