'Hipster' names?

[babybumblebeee]

Having a chat with a friend today about what we consider to be hipster names.

Some names mentioned were Matilda, Florence, Esme, Felix, Leo, Finn, Oscar

What would you add to the list? I am particularly interested as these are the type of name I go for and am trying to work on a list!

Cromarty is all kinds of awesome

Why oh why has this name been overlooked until now?

Irish hipster children will be called Belmullet.

Which also contains the name of a favourite hipster haircut.

Double hip points.

I would like to add Rockall to the list of awesome shipping forecast names.

And Fitzroy - great name.

Top marks for Rockall :)

Hipster names at my kids' school - Thurston (named after the guy from Spiritualized I assume), Albie, Nine.

Nine??

Love Fitzroy!

I also quite like Malin (meaning clever/cunning in French, to give it a bit of extra weight) and, the slightly altered, Faeroe (girl, natch).

It's a pity that Shannon and Bailey have been so overused :o

Ooh, Faeroe is lovely.

Thurston is the guy from Sonic Youth.

The dude from Spiritualized is called Jason. Now that would be a good hipster name.

Oh of course he is. I remembered his surname (Moore?), but clearly not what band he was in. I am tragically unhip

I'd love to see Jason make a comeback.

:o I think knowing the members of Sonic Youth and Spiritualized is about as unhip as can be.

South Utsera anyone?

I desperately wanted to call DS Jason, I love it. DH said no :(

Utsera by itself maybe...

Or twins Utsera and Utsera

Or Nutsera and Sutsera

must stop now

Sorry, got a bit carried away there :o

My Mum and Granny are called Jeannie (not that unusual in Scotland), it was at the top of my list if i had a girl. DH had some hipster name choices for the boys, namely Dirk or Otto, but i vetoed them, somehow I feel it is better to give boys sensible names.

My London friends have a much higher quota of hipster names than my small town Scotland friends!

I agree OP that the names you've listed generally wouldn't be considered 'hipster'. Head into hipster land that is Dalston in east London and you're much more likely to meet a baby Eric or Maud.

Being a hipster isn't so great anyway: m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=GB%23/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I

Sorry, on my phone so not sure that link worked. V funny and worth a watch though if you copy and paste it

ROFL at Jermaine Byte - I'm stealing that for DC2!

No serious 'hipster' is going to give their child a name so common as Finn or Matilda imo!

Jean/Joan/Maud/Fitzroy/Bob/Jason on the other hand are quite ahead of the curve and 'cool' names.

lockets is definitely a hipster. Only hipsters claim hipsters don't exist.

:o

babybumble- not sure you're using everyone else's definition of 'hipster'! Florence, Matilda, Oscar, Finn are completely mainstream.

Sadly the nameberry article also seems about 5 years behind the curve .(Dooce! HA!)

Hipster names at the moment- possibly agree on Otto.
What about:

Bay
Hebe
Thrift
Evadne
Thalia
Fanny
Alan/Alain
Hippolyte
Soren
Leonard
Peveril

arfur I like your list!
