Subjective I know, but what girls names make you think, that's a cool name.

Cool names today aren't in 10 years any more when everyone's caught on. At the moment I'd say

Wren
Margot
Or place names (which I hate)

DramaAlpaca · 31/01/2022 19:15

Interesting. I see Nancy and Martha and I don't think 'cool', I think seriously 'frumpy' Grin

I prefer classic names but I'll have a think to see if I can come up with any cool ones.

Olive 🫒 is not cool...!

hamsterchump · 31/01/2022 19:26

I always think very plain names are quite cool and not at all try hard so Jane for example. But no name can make you cooler than you are.

Well I think Anna , Margot ( i know popular), Celia or I have to say Vivienne (though had not thought of it before. ) I might say Elizabeth - as so many shortenings . Oh hang on Veronica - ha ha

BasiliskStare · 31/01/2022 19:32

@hamsterchump - Actually I am sort of with you there - Jane is so classic and so underused

I think it's subjective. My daughter is Iris and people have told me that's cool but others say it's 'old ladyish'.

Personally I think the very coolest name of someone I know is a woman called Stevie. No short for anything. I wish I was called that or Billie or something quite androgynous.

My son goes to school with a girl called Rebel and he thinks that's a very cool name!

itssquidstella · 31/01/2022 20:12

I think Audrey is becoming cool. When I was at school it was a mega old lady name, though. As a pp said, these things go in cycles so 'cool' now won't be cool in ten or twenty years!
