Slighty hipster names

Just found out we are pregnant with baby number 5, does anyone have any suggestions of names we might like?

We want something not too popular, probably want to stay away from top 100 but we also dont want them to be totally out there or unspellable either. We seem to like a lot of names that are labelled as 'hipster' and on 'hipster baby names' lists. (know thats nots popular on mn)
We have an S surnames so dont want a S name and we already have a E, J, T and Q and would prefer if they all had a different letter.

Names we love but are not quite right, some of them we love are just not brave enough
Boys: Harley, Beau, Jesse, Xavier, Blue, Ziggy, Dax
Girls: Mila, Birdie, Bessie, Delilah, Indie, River

According to a thread I just read... Green. Unisex name apparently!

pipilangstrumpf · 23/03/2018 08:22

How about Quentin, especially as it's your 5th? Otherwise I also like Rex or Magnus.

userabcname · 23/03/2018 08:24

Definitely go for Xavier! Brilliant name.

Footle · 23/03/2018 09:07

Have you gone and called the fourth one Quentin? You should have saved that up!

Where I am, which is awash with hipster types (I am very not) your boys names have all been used for a while and are now taken up by the non hipster, if that makes any difference at all.

Fluffypurpleslipper · 24/03/2018 09:21

Maybe true hipster would be Kevin and Debbie.

Flomper · 24/03/2018 09:26

Im in a minor hipster area and Id say a lot of those are already veey used and are no longer really hipster (Indy, Harley, Jax, Cole spring to mind), if that matters.

upsideup · 24/03/2018 10:16

No, that doesnt bother us. We dont want a hipster name just for the sake of being hipster it just happens that a lot of the names we like are normally under hipster baby name lists.

Well I'd definitely give Blue a swerve then. Have yet to meet one who isn't whiny.
