Glamorous names

ShootForTheStarz · 15/07/2020 20:03

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.

Calypso. If I had a daughter that's what I'd call her.

My dad had a thing about naming me and my sister after screen sirens.

I love Grace and Coco. Think both sound glamorous although I don't necessarily think it means your DD would grow up to be glamorous

Veronica (Lake)?
Grace/Kelly

Orphlids · 15/07/2020 23:20

Oh wow, Gilda is great!

Bouncingbelle · 15/07/2020 23:18

Natalia or Natasha.

I think Deborah & Caroline are both strong sounding names without being cutesy.

longcoffeebreak · 15/07/2020 23:07

How about Gilda

Footle · 15/07/2020 22:33

Damaris rhymes with glamorous. Would that do?

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 15/07/2020 22:05

Oooh I quite like the name Fay as in Fay Wray or Faye Dunaway. Randomly I also quite like the name Heda (as in Gabler) not so glamorous but there you go

QuintusEstInHorto · 15/07/2020 22:03

Vita

QuintusEstInHorto · 15/07/2020 22:02

Vita

I agree with @Montbretia

I like Vivien a lot, but Mae has been very overused and is now a bit tacky. Greta is cringeworthy to me.
Valentina seems quite glamorous to me. Actually, quite a lot of Italian or Russian names do. But also, eg, I know an effortlessly cool and beautiful Ellen, so that’s glamorous to me.
