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

I met a 4yr old girl today called Zorla. That's a cool name. Other names I've heard recently that I think are cool : Paisley, Audrey, Raven, Jandie.

I also met a boy the other day called Barno. Not Barney, Barno. I couldn't decide if it's awesome or awful 😂

I'm a supply teacher 😃

Raven is cool. Barno is dire.

@RedToothBrush

How do you rebel as a teenager when your name is Rebel?

You are going to go either one of two ways - either be really straightlaced or live up to the expectation of the name.

I'm not sure why you would do that as a parent!

The darker greener website is a good indication of which names it will happen to - any huge spikes mean they're currently 'cool' but will be deeply uncool within a generation's time.

This ^

I know, the Rebel we know is very sweet and doesn't really suit her name. I think it's a terrible name personally but the kids think it's cool!

I think non gender specific names are cool

James (for a girl, I'm sorry but I love it! And not just because Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds did this)

Xenia, where are you?

@mistermagpie

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!

My daughter is called Stevie. I think it's cool too! It's unusual without being weird or try-hard.
