[name]Simon[/name] is one of my absolute favourite names. To me, it gives off the impression of someone studious and possibly a bit nerdy but without the level of dorkiness of, say, [name]Egbert[/name]. I think of [name]Simon[/name] as being “geek chic”, and I’m curious what other names people think fit that label.
Also- would these kinds of names be considered “hipster”? I’ve never really understood what that word means!
I’m pretty sure that “geek chic” describes most of my favourite names.
In my opinion, these also belong in the same group as [name]Simon[/name]:
[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Martin[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Jonas[/name]
[name]Abel[/name]
[name]Clement[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Ambrose[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Quentin[/name]
[name]Malcolm[/name]
[name]Leon[/name]
[name]Amos[/name]
[name]Emil[/name]
Yeah, geek-chic is definitely hipster. I’ll include a group of girls names as nobody has mentioned any yet:
[name]Agnes[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]/[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Martha[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] (maybe not even geek-chic anymore, just chic)
[name]Winifred[/name]
Wilhemina
[name]Millicent[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Elinor[/name]
Some are geeky names with chic nicknames. E.g. [name]Millicent[/name] nn [name]Millie[/name] or [name]Edith[/name] nn [name]Edie[/name].
I would add [name]Graham[/name] and [name]George[/name]
I completely agree with you it is totally “Geek Chic” as you so amazingly ranked it. But may I also add [name]Spencer[/name] to the mix or “Geek Chic” as I think, boy or girl, Spencers are in the very same group. [name]Don[/name]'t you just love S names!?!
It appears that all of my favorite names have already made the geek chic list… so you must have identified my “style” exactly! [name]Simon[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Martin[/name], [name]Malcolm[/name]… [name]Millicent[/name], [name]Winifred[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name]… -sigh- they’re just so lovely!
“Geek Chic” is a new phrase for me. The name [name]Simon[/name] is quite a old traditional name from the Bible so I’m really not getting the label you’ve assigned. Does the “geek” come from modern popular culture? I know [name]Simon[/name] was a Chipmunk but to label the name [name]Simon[/name] a “geek chic” name because of a cartoon is not accurate in my opinion.
I don’t know mischa… I didn’teven think of the cartoon until you brought it up. to me the name still sounded geek chic as they put it though…
As for the love of this catagory, I totally have to agree. My fav girl name really fits, [name]Henrietta[/name], but i’m not sure about [name]Conrad[/name], my favorite boy name. Thoughts?
Some other names on my list that fit are things like [name]Malcolm[/name] and others already named.
I was just thinking about it, and would you guys says that lots of literary names are geek chic? [name]Just[/name] a thought.
