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

I met a 4yr old girl today called Zorla. That's a cool name. Other names I've heard recently that I think are cool : Paisley, Audrey, Raven, Jandie.

I also met a boy the other day called Barno. Not Barney, Barno. I couldn't decide if it's awesome or awful 😂

I'm a supply teacher 😃

Raven is cool. Barno is dire.

How do you rebel as a teenager when your name is Rebel?

You are going to go either one of two ways - either be really straightlaced or live up to the expectation of the name.

I'm not sure why you would do that as a parent!

The darker greener website is a good indication of which names it will happen to - any huge spikes mean they're currently 'cool' but will be deeply uncool within a generation's time.

Sloane (Ferris bueller's day off)
Love Sloane from FBDO, so cool and beautiful and carries the name well. Never met a real-life sloane though!
BunnyRuddington · 31/01/2022 20:51

Interesting to see Saskia mentioned a couple of times. I work with one who is very cool and very nice.

DaisyWaldron · 31/01/2022 20:48

I think the coolest names are ones that are slightly jarring, but are carried off well. Do mad inline/androgynous names, frumpy/old-fashioned names and very unusual names.Shorter names also seem more cool. So Winifred called Fred would be cool, as would Joan, Hero, Xen, Maude, Jude, Nyx and Liv. Also Barbara.
