Mystical/Edgy Baby Names?

126 replies

beardedirislover · 04/04/2026 21:10

Starting a random thread cos I am bored.

For boys and girls, what are some sort of mystical, fairylike names that aren't too "affected".

Im looking for cool baby names.

Don't want them to be "trad" and don't want them to be super "posh" rather a bit mystical but edgy.

I love the names "Winter" "Grey" "Zorro" and "Axelle"

I used to have a cat called Zorro as he had black eye mask markings. I'm not sure it works for a child.

Please please don’t use any of these absurd names for a poor child.

Growing up it’s hard enough these days, children are mean and using any ridiculous name like this, sad as it is, will really single about making them a victim. Names are about the child and not about you.

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads , Olwyn is a misspelling of Olwen. Olwen is a character from the Mabinogi, Olwyn is the Welsh word for wheel.

Edited

i get your point but also, I’m a bit more “teach your kid to have enough self worth and confidence” to push back and be different, be cool and tell the rest to politely get over themselves.

Worked with me.

@beardedirislover , best to call the child a name from the top 10, middle name Rose/May/Grace or James so that other MNers don't find it ridiculous. Smile

beardedirislover · 05/04/2026 13:14

Loving this thread - keep em coming!

Let's start a mystical/druid/celtic nam revival. Classrooms would sound like story book

"Now class, register, is Evlin here? Larkspur? Faerlie? Titania?"

Would be so rad and cool.

I have an 'out there' name. Never met another. Never even HEARD of someone with my name until I was in my twenties and I was outraged lmao.

But, in response to opinions of 'please don't do that to the children', I just wanted to chip in with my experience of loving my name, my whole life, and also loving the fact that I was the only one.

And no, I'm not telling you all my name, sorry! Too outing, unfortunately
