I’m looking for an artistic/hipster/free spirit sounding name. I’m not interested in anything super out there. I’ve for a few I really like but am getting stumped. Opinions on the list below and any ideas? Any help is super appreciated.
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_f]Vada[/name_f]/[name_f]Veda[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
Hipster names? Um. Okay.
Honestly your list just feels really trendy (accept [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] which is a bit dated). I think these would be more what you’re describing…
[name_f]Oceana[/name_f]
[name_f]Talitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Zora[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
[name_f]Io[/name_f] or [name_f]Ione[/name_f]
[name_f]Fuchsia[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Isis[/name_f]
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
[name_f]Tavia[/name_f]
[name_u]Domino[/name_u]
[name_f]Columbine[/name_f]
You said not too out there but that seems sort of contradictory.
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]/[name_f]Caris[/name_f]
[name_f]Faye[/name_f]

[name_f]India[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]
[name_u]Bryn[/name_u]
[name_u]Hartley[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
Those feel very hipster/ free spirited to me!

Honestly, I think a lot of names from a lot of different categories could appeal to a hipster or give off a hipster vibe. [name_m]Just[/name_m] as they can give off a vintage, timeless, trendy, or made-up vibe. A lot of it’s about context, at a certain point. And I guess my perception of hipster is partly going for a wow factor – while also getting a nod from the cool kids.

Your list:
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] - [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this, and would likely use it if it didn’t clash with my surname
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] - This is OK, pretty sound!
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - On my long list - very pretty
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] - Apparently this is dated in the UK, but it sounds very fresh in the US
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] - I’m not sure how I feel about this name yet. It’s OK
[name_f]Vada[/name_f]/[name_f]Veda[/name_f] - This is growing on me!! I MUCH prefer [name_f]Vera[/name_f], though
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] - Eh, I prefer this as a nickname. [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_u]Ever[/name_u], though
There is a pretty great Hipster List on NB here: Hipster Names | Nameberry
My favorites from the list:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_f]Lilah[/name_f]
I would say my style is somewhat hipster-esque (while remaining mostly grounded!) - here are a few of my favorites:
[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Madigan[/name_u] ([name_f]Maggie[/name_f])
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] ([name_f]Lola[/name_f])
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] ([name_u]Remy[/name_u])

[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]! 
What about [name_f]Edie[/name_f]?
Or [name_f]Lark[/name_f]? So pretty.
I’m sorry but your name choices don’t really struck me as hipster -> but more modern with a hipster want to be edge. [name_u]True[/name_u] “hipster” names are bound to be a little unusual and unconventional and a little out there.
I do agree with the pp who suggested a number of different categories:
Flowers/Food: [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
Vintage: [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Horatia[/name_f], [name_u]Marian[/name_u], [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
Mythological: [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
Modern/Unusual: [name_m]Mykelti[/name_m], Kalayna, [name_f]Uma[/name_f], [name_f]Vita[/name_f], Freyja,
We chose [name_f]Isla[/name_f] for our baby in 2012, and we are so in love. We get so many compliments on how pretty her name is, yet have yet to meet another one!
