Appreciate this style isn’t to everyone’s taste & ‘you won’t know what she’ll be like’ has been thrown around but then you don’t know if she’ll be sickly sweet when you call a little girl daisy? You may recognise me from the Connie or Frankie thread! Grin I still feel like I’m looking for that perfect cool name for our second little girl! Please give me all your amazing suggestions, you’ve all been so helpful so far!

Olivia - but maybe just ‘liv’ for short ? I know a beautiful girl called Olivia but she’s just liv or Livvy now which is perfect for her as she’s boisterous and very strong minded yet pretty as hell!

If your child is 'cool, tomboy, no frills' in their personality the name won't matter. It'll suit them whatever. Cool kids/ adults can pull it off.

The uncool kids are the ones that will struggle to pull off names like Scout etc.

Charlie
Stevie
Evan
Jaime
Alex

Girls don’t have to be like boys, or called boys names to be cool, strong, assertive or whatever it is you are trying to achieve.
