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.

Not The Guardian, the DT.

Alliteration can sound quite glamorous.

What's the surname?

SheWranglesRugRats · 19/07/2020 10:05

Zizi means Willy in French, I wouldn’t recommend it!

Caroline sounds good or you could have a name starting with K.

So many amazing names there! Loved the suggestion of Portia.

The film star names are usually assumed names. Another source of inspiration might be fictional names.

Some might veer into pornstar/stripper territory though.

Kitty Cartwright sounds good

BurtonHouse · 19/07/2020 20:37

Oh, and Cressida.
And Ophelia.
Can't imagine either of them being anything other than immaculately polished.

Got to be Cressida Cartwight. Cressie for short.
You can thank me later!!
