I met a little boy called Ace the other day. Hadn't ever considered it as a name before but he really lived up to it.
I also think Teddy is a pretty cool name.

mandbaby · 25/02/2014 14:56

Most of these are jokes, right?

Not sure I've read a single name here that I like.

teasleromani123 · 25/02/2014 15:48

my sons called Teasle and my Daughter is called Romani :) everyone keeps saying there unusual name (its doing my head in lol)

GemmaPomPom · 25/02/2014 15:48

I think people who are criticizing some of the very cool names on here should be required to tell us their own choices. Bet they're really safe, boring and - dare I say it - pedestrian.

UriGeller · 25/02/2014 15:52

I know a Gus who is Gustave. Not sure i think its cool though.

There was a little boy (4yo) in the airport at the weekend called Hope. He was absolutely adorable. Little bowlie haircut. He was reading the adverts with his dad. No flat caps in sight but the dad was a bit of a hipster.

Theonlyoneiknow · 25/02/2014 16:04

Gemma it's all subjective isn't it though. People are very quick to judge here on baby names. Whether it is a traditional name, quirky, very unusual or in the top 10. Can't please everyone! 'Cool' is really a personal opinion compared to what is a traditional name (for example)

Most of the names I consider cool are popular (Riley, Brodie, etc;) but I know a Jett, an Indigo (nn. Indie) and a Flint.

devonsmummy · 25/02/2014 22:42

Slightly biased but I'd say Devon Wink
Jaron
Kade
Nash

ohabi · 25/02/2014 23:59
