Who were the cool kids when you were at school?

[wildpoppy]

In my secondary school the cool kids were Dean and Susan. Dh says no to both names!

Primary - Joanne, Erica, Mark

Secondary (girls school) - Deanna, Angelique, Rachel, Madeleine, Alexandra

Girls: I honestly can't remember now!! Our head girl was a lovely girl called Katie, not sure if she was 'cool' so much as really liked though.

Boys: Max, Sam and Joel

Oh one of the cool girls was called Debbie. Her best friend was even cooler but I can't for the life of me remember her name. It will come...

It may say a lot about the kind of school I went to, but knowing what I know now about what happened to the "cool" kids after they left school, the last thing I aspire to for my children is for them to be considered cool at school.

Sally was the pretty one everyone fancied, Louise was the bad girl who left at 16 (was a v.academic grammar so everyone was shocked), Jeanie (old fashioned name even then!) was the naughty cheeky one who everyone wanted to be friends with. Like NoComparison said though, knowing what I know now I wish I hadn't wasted so much time envying them!

Girls - Nicola, Emma, Emma and Emma :)
There were a lot of EmmaS in my school

Boys kristian, Dean and Dan

They were very cool in school, and I believe one of the Emmas and Dean have a child who is now 17

Jill & Sara
Warren & Darrell

Although I am not sure 'cool' had been invented when I was at school.

They were the girls I wanted to be.

And the boys I wanted to be with.

Rosalind
Samantha
Sandy

Ooh this one had me wracking my brains.

We had the 'popular' girls of Leah, Karly, Alexis and Chloe. Wrt the boys, I guess Gary, Andrew, Martin and Ashley.

This thread has reminded me how vague some of my memories are!

Spencer & Neil
Emma & Erica

Girls = Katie, Lisa, Heather and Emma.

Lads = Chris, Ben and Ian.

FWIW, I went to a shit secondary school ...

Sara, Emma, Danielle, Emma, Tasha. These kids weren't what anyone would think cool now, but they were big tough bullies who everyone was scared of.

Lizzie, sammy, Lisa... Michael, David, Ross

Hmm thinking about it don't think their particular brand of 'cool' would stand up to todays yoof!

Michelle, Nicky, Vicky, Donna, Lisa, Jo, Emma, Kate/Katie, Jo.

Mark, Matt, Dan, Nick.

.... but most of these are no longer very cool, however there were lots of quieter types and geeks who are now very cool and they have names like Rob, David, Andy and Lucy.

At girls secondary they were, juliet, susie, Emma, kyla, Sonya, felicity, Rachel, Tiffany, alannah, Natasha. Quite a bunch!

Toni-anne and natalie were the girls
James and matty (mathew) were the boys.

in secondary it was Mark and Jo(anne). and Paul and his sister Philippa. or Pip as I believe she was known. I wasn't cool.

I don't think anyone was cool in primary.

Ciara x2, Nancy, Sara, Ines, Annika
Sheldon, Sean, Mark, Bobby

Hannah, Louise, Judy.

All cool to the point of coldness. Ugh.

I honestly can't remember who the cool kids were as I had nothing in common with them! But as we were born in the 70s all the girls were called Claire, Emma or Jo.

My school was quite polarised (almost American High School 'types')

The kids who were 'cool' because they were terrifying (streetwise types) were:
Emma, Donna, David, Andrew, Jamie, Lyndsey, Kerry, Ryan, Carl, Claire, Nicola, Shaun, Shane and Helena

The kids who were 'cool' because they were sporty, fairly bright and generally nice kids were:
Amy, Sarah, Laura, Hannah, Helen, Beth, Emma, Joanna, Rebecca, Andrew, David, Alistair, Ben, Michelle, Angela and Paul

The kids who were 'cool' because they were 'alternative''/artsy were:
Sarah, Daniel, Robert, Amy, Rebecca, Michael, Craig, Fiona and Douglas

Karen, Natasha, Vicky. I hated them all.

the cool boys were Jonny and Jay
all the other boys were called Lee (slight exaggeration there)

the cool girls were

Jemma, Jackie, Claire, Natalie & Alice ( but Alice was a bit posh, and only really cool because she was friends with Claire & Jackie)
