What do you think are the coolest names right now? And why?
Ignoring the charts & going by what I find as the ‘coolest’ it would be
[name_m]Reef[/name_m] & [name_m]Ares[/name_m] / [name_f]Zaylie[/name_f] & [name_f]Eriana[/name_f] 
If I had to go by what seems to be popularity on here/the charts I’d say [name_m]Hayes[/name_m], [name_m]Cairo[/name_m], [name_f]Opal[/name_f] & [name_f]Cora[/name_f] 
I’d say quirky boyish nicknames for girls seem pretty cool right now - [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_f]Billie[/name_f], [name_f]Scottie[/name_f], etc.
I think for boys, quick and sharp names like [name_m]Crew[/name_m], [name_m]Hayes[/name_m], or [name_m]Knox[/name_m] have a cool, trendy sound.

I think ancient and mythical names are both generally cool and totally having a moment right now, at least in the US! [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] are a few that are highly ranked and still trending upward, plus some lower in the rankings but rising like [name_m]Aries[/name_m], [name_m]Ares[/name_m], and [name_f]Thalia[/name_f].
Also mini names (especially those with international flair or unexpected sounds like Z or V) – for example [name_m]Zev[/name_m], [name_f]Vida[/name_f], [name_m]Neo[/name_m], [name_m]Zen[/name_m], [name_m]Sol[/name_m], [name_f]Zuri[/name_f], [name_m]Wes[/name_m], [name_f]Zoya[/name_f], [name_f]Noa[/name_f], and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] are all flying up the charts and sound cool and fresh.
Short, snappy names without many letters - nickname-y vibes and a confident, breezy sort of feel - I find them unexpected, concise and - well, just cool
I’m thinking of…
[name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_m]Pax[/name_m]
[name_m]Mack[/name_m]
[name_f]Ro[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_m]Nash[/name_m]
[name_m]Kit[/name_m]
[name_f]Scout[/name_f]
[name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_m]Kip[/name_m]
[name_f]Nox[/name_f]
Tez
[name_f]Nyx[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]
[name_f]Rue[/name_f]
[name_f]Lou[/name_f]
[name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_f]Dee[/name_f]
[name_m]Fen[/name_m]
[name_m]Nev[/name_m]
[name_f]Gia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kia[/name_f]
[name_f]Suvi[/name_f]
[name_m]Sol[/name_m]

I think mostly shorter names, names ending with a consonant and sounds with X or Z are ones deemed as cool so something like…
[name_f]Scout[/name_f], [name_f]Lux[/name_f], [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_f]Noa[/name_f], [name_m]Ever[/name_m], [name_m]Knox[/name_m], Indi/Indy, or [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m]
Names that I personally think have a cool vibe are:
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_m]Reef[/name_m]
[name_m]Luca[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Zayn[/name_m]
[name_m]Banks[/name_m]
[name_m]Cash[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Coast[/name_m]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Vesper[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_m]Rowan[/name_m]

[name_m]Arrow[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_f]Navy[/name_f]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
As well as shorter, sweeter names:

[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_f]Wren[/name_f]
[name_f]Ziva[/name_f]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
Enver
So, as per my understanding, these names are very ‘in’ right now, although that may be because of my tailored FYP lol.
I love these responses! Keep them coming! I’m going to bump this thread to the top of the home page because this is a question many people have. Thanks, brilliantberries.
