Coolest person you know...

[BarryC]

Ok, I'm stuck on baby names. No idea what to call our DS and going a bit nuts.

Going to try something alternative...

Who is the coolest person you know and what is their name?

*just for laughs folks

Alex
Michael
Gareth. I predict a huge glut of baby Gareths, all born wearing weskits

I know someone who called their son hendrix
With a name like that he will have to grow up to be cool right?

Blake
Dale
Ed (Edward)
Nathan

Joe
Billy

Okay, Billy is my dog but he is SO incredibly cool.

Coolest people I know are women. But one is called Robin if that is any use to you.

Irene and Jake (not a couple) are the coolest people I know.

Yoli, (short for Yolanda) Hestia and Erik.
Keepit how are you pronouncing Xo? My cousin is Xiomara, we call her Zee. I love that name!

And Bruce: I can think of two, one is admittedly feline

Cassius

James

I also know a very uncool James.

Coolness is not related to names.

Audrey
Julie
Philippa
Manon
Melanie
Elizabeth
Natalie
Graham
Richard
Thomas
Xavier

It’s the person, their personality and their achievements that makes them cool, not nominative determinism.

Rob, David, Dan, Lauren, Katherine, Kerry, Tom are some cool people I know. Nothing cool about their names. I've never heard them say that they wish they had a really cool name!

The coolest kids at my dcs school are called Alfie and Ava.

Yeah but aren’t about 50% of the kids at your DCs’ school called Alfie and Ava?

I think this thread shows that a person’s name does not make them cool eg Gary, Kevin, Graham.

@LoveInTokyo we know, I made this thread for a laugh. Think it's quite obvious that we don't actually think a name makes a person!

@Cosmoa Cassius is my favourite bit DP said no - argh!

@MadisonAvenue I loved Billie for a girl! And Stevie.

I always thought the name Marcel was cool until I dated one, he was an abusive psychopath so that’s that name destroyed .

I think Sebastian is a cool name but everyone I know that has met a Sebastian said they were absolute twats.

There’s a Cobain in DD’s class. I don’t usually like surname names but I think that’s pretty cool.

The coolest kid in our friendship group is called Maximilliano.

Coolness definitely doesn't come from a name but these are the names of some cool guys:
Alex
Quentin
Nathan
Xander

@BarryC oh no what a shame 😭 maybe he will come around to it? Ask him again after you've given birth.. My DP was much more lenient to the names I wanted once I'd had her. I told him it was only fair that I get the final say!

Rex (he’s actually a treasure hunter and his nickname is ship Rex!)
Nathan
Gus
Garrett
Blaise

Coolest guy I know is also a Ray. He is quite old though.

Ah, I also liked Billie and Stevie for a girl!! But had a boy. Jesse. I think he's cool.
