Wondered what the cool names when you were at school were? I bet they are not the cool names around now.

I am 30 so left secondary school in 1994 after GCSEs.

Coolest boy was Dean.

Coolest girl was Carrie.

I love the name Dean though DH doesn't.

Beanie no, in Somerset, but they were the older step brothers of a friend so it could still be them...

Sadly I went to a school devoid of cool people.

My best freind was a bit cool though,and she was called Sam.

All the Zoe's thought they were cool but actually weren't

Kevin and Charmaine (she really loved herself)

Claireybrations - you weren't raised in West Wales were you? maybe it's the same ones? I always wondered where they went!

georgimama · 08/01/2009 16:13

I am also 30. Went to a girl's school.

I don't really remember a them and us. The sporty/skinny ones were Kate, Zoe, Katie, Francesca and Marcie.

Although it must be said everyone didn't aspire to be bosom buddies with them, people had their own groups and were happy with them.
