"cool" girls names

Subjective I know, but what girls names make you think, that's a cool name.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

"Cool" is also subjective. What middle-aged middle class mumsnetters think is cool isn't everyone's idea of cool.

Very true!

Sadie or Stella

Cool names for me are...
Storm
Ocean
Hera
Juno
Xenia (love this)
Wren

Definitely do not think that any 'old name' is cool!

Delilah or Dorothy or Bessie

I'm pleased to see my daughter's name (Astrid) appear on several people's lists. My Astrid is effortlessly cool but she doesn't get it from me or my husband.

As others have said cool is so subjective but if I heard Maud, Nancy or Paloma I'd think they were cool. I read a book years ago with a character called Wynter which I always thought was a great name but not one you could really use in real life.

@Orphlids

I think Martha is cool because it’s frumpy. It’s not trying to be sexy, sparkly or the centre of attention. By choosing Martha, the parents are recognising that their daughter will be all those things and more, and doesn’t need to rely on a dazzling name to cause a stir. So I do think it’s cool, but I’m afraid it is too frumpy for my taste!

Other names I think of as cool are Isolde, Mimi, Erika, Petra, Manon, Joan, Anouk, Suki, Zainab, Hayat, Hero, Cecilia, Vita, Rose.

Exactly. It’s the cool clumpy shoe of names, not the consciously sexy stiletto. Ditto Maud, Enid etc.

Thinking about it, the coolest person I have ever known, by miles, is called Rachel.

Just like every other person born in the 70s who wasn't called Sarah or Elizabeth...

@couldhavenotcouldof22 - I think Frances is lovely - DS1 has Francis as a middle name

couldhavenotcouldof22 · 02/02/2022 21:20

For some reason I've always found Frances really cool. I love Frank for men too.

The coolest two young women I know through work are called Martha and Winnie.

They are intelligent, personable, political, dress fantastically…

onedayoranother · 02/02/2022 14:08

Cool - hmmm. My cool may be your old fashioned (Martha? Nancy? Sound so old lady to me). I don't like weird spellings - too 'try hard'. My children have old names but my sons at least is coming back a bit, and both liked that they were the only ones in their whole school with their names. Just avoid the top 20 and weird ones like 'Apple' or 'Moon Unit' - sure to end up being ridiculed.
