Okay, so typing that title made me laugh but it’s kind of what I’m going for! What names give you a cool girl vibe- European style. Here’s the catch ! [name_f]My[/name_f] son has a really traditional English/British name that is consistently in the top 10. So the name can’t be too out there or it just won’t fit in our family.
Here’s a few I’ve thought of that give me that vibe- are they names that give you that vibe too ?? and help me think of others!
-Camille/Camilla
-Estee (prob too out there to go with my sons name)
-Margot/Margaux (this kind of feels like the ultimate cool girl name but is it equally classic enough? And is it really overdone recently?)
-Jade
-Mina
-Claire
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_u]Jade[/name_u], not necessarily because it sounds like that vibe, I just think it is the best of the list. I do think you have a good list for what you want.
I love the list you provided. Good vibe. [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_u]Mina[/name_u], [name_f]Ave[/name_f] especially [name_f]Claire[/name_f] are my favorites.
Although these would be unlikely to match your son’s name in being traditional, if they happen to share a starting letter and/ or number of syllables for example, that can really make them feel like they belong together, e.g. George & Gigi.
I wanted to add since this might- help my sons name is [name_u]William[/name_u] and sometimes called “Willem”. I was reading and commenting on another recent post where a mom was looking for a name to go with [name_u]William[/name_u]. She had alot of great names on her list including two on mine and the majority of people were recommending another longer traditional name. I don’t really want another long traditional name but I also don’t want to sign our [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] card with two TOTALLY different vibe names if that makes sense ?
Oh I hadn’t thought of [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. Does this give proper private school or cool girl? Haha I have the same feeling about [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
So I wanted to ask you bc I always appreciate your comments on other posts. On another recent post there was a mom with a [name_u]William[/name_u] and she got a lot of recommendations to go with a longer really classy/traditonal name off of her list. But I saw that you recommended [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you feel like these give off the cool vibe I’m going for or do you get more classic proper from them? [name_f]My[/name_f] son is [name_u]William[/name_u] also but goes by [name_m]Willem[/name_m] sometimes. Anyways, I’m just trying to find something that works with his name but I really don’t want another royal proper name. I do love olive, lucie and isobel from your list but when I change the spelling to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] the names don’t feel quite as cool
@Kat122 with Margot and Clara, they have this stylish, kind of on trend vibe that gives them edge and spark. I’d say they’re cool, but also established and classic enough that they work with William. The good thing about William though is it’s so versatile - I’ve known Williams with all sorts of sister names (some have been Amelia, Carys, Aoife, Phoebe, Sienna and Thea)
I think cool girl, but I’m reminded of [name_f]Clara[/name_f] from [name_u]Doctor[/name_u] Who and she was a badass so maybe I’m a bit biased. I do think [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is more private school than cool girl, but [name_f]Clara[/name_f] seems fine
Thank you! This is reassuring. I think you worded it right and the spark is exactly what I’m wanting in a girl name. [name_u]Loving[/name_u] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] for these reasons! They feel a little more special to me than an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- which is the type of name I think most people would want to pair with a [name_u]William[/name_u]. And names are so funny bc truly everyone has a differing opinion on each one.
