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

I can’t think of anything worse than being a girl called Billie. It’s bad enough a boy called Billy but for a girl, awful. The only Billies I know are definitely not cool, very far from it. None of them are anything to look up to in any way.

Rae, Erica, Elliott, Carter

I think tomboy or androgynous names sound cool Drew Billie Blake Dylan Harper Kai Morgan Reagan Rory Shane Stevie
So basically give her a boys name?

I think the person makes the name cool. I always thought Edna was an old lady's name until I met my super-cool friend at uni many years back. Now it's the epitome of cool by association.

I see a lot of the above as trendy hipster names, faddy rather than effortlessly cool.

I think it's cool when people have quite plain names but make them their own due to their character.

Norrie
Roly
Tag
Betty
Happy

... seriously I'd say something Edgy but short like
Zara, Luna, Merlin, Cosmo, Rex.

I met a fox, aged 1 the other day and it should of been cool but it just sounded weird.

Buffy (the Vampire slayer)
Erin sounds cool
Have you checked Ancient Greece deity names? Some cool ones there. It depends what cool means to you, I don’t think it’s the same for everyone. I also agree with PO about Billie or Rory or ‘boy’ names too, for a cool girl 😎

AutomaticMoon · 31/01/2022 23:51

Maud! That’s on par with Ida (which is coincidentally my name, but not the English pronunciation which has caused no end of grief with certain coworkers who would insist on their own pronounciation)

I’m cool but it’s in spite of my name hehe
It was my grandmother’s name though.

Imola is a cool hungarian name but I’m biased cause it’s my mother’s name.
