Glamorous names

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.

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 18/07/2020 09:01

Hedy Lemarr is beyond glamourous, but i don’t think Hedwig is going on anyone’s top 5.

My mum was at school in the 50s with a girl called Desiree Dubois which i always thought was glamour personified.

Echobelly · 18/07/2020 09:04

Claudia
Gloria
Aurora
Anastasia

formerbabe · 18/07/2020 09:45

Oh yes just saw Beverly mentioned...I love that name

Jocundest · 18/07/2020 15:07

Ninette (de Valois)

Her real name was the somewhat less glamorous Edris Stannus, though! Actually, it's instructive to look at the birth names of lots of film stars -- Frances Gumm (Judy Garland), Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe), Tula Elise Finklea (Cyd Charisse), Doris Kappelhoff (Doris Day), Virginia Katherine McMath (Ginger Rogers).

Oh yes just saw Beverly mentioned...I love that name

Beverly for me is a hard-bitten late-middle-aged woman who likes her gin, chainsmokes and dyes her hair aubergine.

Quiglet · 18/07/2020 15:32

Two of my relatives were given “film siren” names. Lovely ladies both, but neither of them are in the least bit glamorous (more down to earth types) and one of them positively adjusts the spelling of her name to remove the link.

Give a name with flexibility for a child’s character.

WellTidy · 18/07/2020 16:50

Arabella

Dollygirl2008 · 18/07/2020 17:47

I always think that names ending in "a" sound quite glamorous and classy!

Claudia
Antonia
Arabella
Savannah
Freya
Sophia

You get the gist...

BurtonHouse · 18/07/2020 17:55

Michaela (kay- sound in the middle)
Claudia
Theodora
Portia
Francesca (I've always thought that Francesca Annis is one of the most beautiful and glamorous women ever)
Helena
Delphine
