Girls baby names that are "cool, but not Americanised"

[tax19]

Hello

So we are having a surprise born august.
We have decided a boys name but cannot decide a girls name.
I like Nina but DH has vetoed
He likes Marnie I have vetoed on the ground it's a bit American.
We are looking for something shortish, just a bit hip and cool but not to out there. Even something a bit "surfery".
Any suggestions welcome!

I wonder if all the parents calling their daughters Margo/t also think they're picking an 'unusual but not too out there' name. I feel like every other baby girl is called Margot these days.

@RitzyMcFitzy definitely from the influence of Margot Robbie, there are lots now although I do like the name but can imagine in 5 years time schools will have lots of little Margots

@RitzyMcFitzy , the name Margot is #57 on Darkgreener. The data is for names registered up to and including 2021. It's on a steep upward curve.
Babies called Margot in England & Wales since 1996 (darkgreener.com)

I know the parents of 3 Noahs and they all thought they were picking an unusual name.

I'm not sure it's a Margot Robbie influence. I think it's just people looking for the next thing in 'vintage' names. The Victorian names like Harriet and Florence and the Edwardian names like Elsie and Ruby have been done to death so people want to find something that's vintage yet fresh, hence the move to more 1930s vibe names likes Margot and Nancy.

@RitzyMcFitzy , look at the graph on Darkgreener. It's shot up since 2013. There's definitely a link with the actress. The Wolf of Wall Street came out in 2013.

Marla?
