Just remember! In the past "cool names" included Tracey, Sharon, Kelly, Wayne, Gary,

In 29 years Ace, Chase and Hunter will be in this camp

You picked it, you own it 😆

OK, maybe I should have paid more attention to the rest of your list - but to me there will always be a baby Maccles somewhere out there.

I thought Maverick was bad until someone said Macclesfield.

Macclesfield?

As in, seriously, 'hello, meet my baby Macclesfield'?

Are the contributors the same people who laugh at or try to start a thread on the name Ladasha /Balonz every couple of months? Then perpetuate the stereotype that names from certain cultures are kooky or unprofessional, so that Anna/Emma/Linda in HR can justify the disposal of the application form?

Luredbyapomegranate · 12/11/2022 20:06

I think Maverick might be a bit of a burden..

Jethro or Jerome maybe?

It's got to be a name they can carry with dignity throughout their whole life.

Which is why all the Teddies, Albies, Alfies may well wish that their parents had given them proper names.

Radward
Bradley
Rocket
Dynamite
Ace
Mint (for a girl)

Dynamite!?!?!

I have no words...

RandomMusings7 · 12/11/2022 19:53

Ace = a term used to refer to asexual people

Teddy = horrible for anyone over the age of 5... Theodore is fine

Cash = not a name. Very try hard and silly

Archer = slightly better than the rest, but still not great

You don’t need a cool name, you need a name that encourages someone in charge of a job application to give him an interview.

This. Remember you're naming an adult, not just a baby. It's got to be a name they can carry with dignity throughout their whole life.

@MassiveSalad22 I think Maverick is possibly worse than Ace. They’re all odd names and definitely not what I would consider cool. They sound like names an American teenager in 1994 might want to call their baby. Which is fine if that’s what you’re going for but not cool, exactly.

Gummibär · 12/11/2022 19:35

Op, the name Teddy is definitely NOT cool. It might be cute for a bear 🐻 or toddler but it's not a cool name for a teen or adult!

I think these are quite cool:

Raphael
Quentin
Vincent
Marcus

A couple of people saying Ralph but all I can think of is Ralph Wiggum from the simpsons …..not my idea of a cool name haha

For me it has a Judy Blume association
