Wondered what the cool names when you were at school were? I bet they are not the cool names around now.

I am 30 so left secondary school in 1994 after GCSEs.

Coolest boy was Dean.

Coolest girl was Carrie.

I love the name Dean though DH doesn't.

At secondary school, all the cool girls were called Jenny. Everybody was called Jenny. At junior, Kim was the Queen Bee (but nice too).
