Glamorous names

[ShootForTheStarz]

Looking for more suggestions for names I can only describe as quite glamours, simply because of associations though: think Mae West, Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn, Deanna Durbin, Greta Garbo... I just love love LOVE!

Can't find the one that my husband loves too though, so hoping you can help. We love something quite strong sounding, not too feminine sounding and smart.

I think they're glamorous because of who they're associated with. Deanna Durbin on a regular person? Not so glam.

Theda?

I think my problem with the names you list is that they were used for their associated glamour for a generation of babies who are alive and not conspicuously glamorous — so Audrey Hepburn becomes Audrey from Coronation Street, Greta Garbo becomes Auntie Greta (I have one — she’s almost eighty and has cardigan sleeves lumpy with used tissues), etc etc.

Rita Hayworth
Elizabeth Taylor
Grace Kelly
Catherine Deneuve

I like your choices, OP. I love Marlene Dietrich, and gave my DD the middle name Marlena. Greta is on the list for next baby, as is Ingrid. I love the name Ginger, although I’m not brave enough to use it.

Alexia is a glamorous name I think and so is sienna or Saskia

But Audrey from Coronation Street is glamorous

Sophia?

I love Greta

How about Margaret nn Maggie?
Makes me think of glamorous Margaret in The Crown

It’s totally the person. Cameron Diaz sounds glamorous but if it wasn’t for the actress it sounds just like a Latino male. Not good if you’re not pretty.

Delilah

Or even Delilah

Crystal sounds like a stripper :l

I agree with @Montbretia

I like Vivien a lot, but Mae has been very overused and is now a bit tacky. Greta is cringeworthy to me.
Valentina seems quite glamorous to me. Actually, quite a lot of Italian or Russian names do. But also, eg, I know an effortlessly cool and beautiful Ellen, so that’s glamorous to me.

Oooh I quite like the name Fay as in Fay Wray or Faye Dunaway. Randomly I also quite like the name Heda (as in Gabler) not so glamorous but there you go

Lana

I see someone else beat me to
Talulah
Coco

Has anyone said Carmen yet?
