Or something that makes you think of the Roaring Twenties also?
Any suggestions would be great!
I like [name]Etta[/name]. It’s got a classic feel with lots of modern appeal also.

I don’t know anything about jazz, but for some reason the Roaring Twenties makes me think of [name]Joan[/name]…?
[name]Daisy[/name] has always reminded me of the twenties because the Great [name]Gatsby[/name] took place in that era. I think [name]Gatsby[/name] could work as a boys name.
more ideas-
female jazz singers-
[name]Billie[/name]
[name]Dinah[/name]
[name]Ella[/name]
[name]Nina[/name]

[name]Ethel[/name]
[name]Betty[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]

male jazz first names-
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Chet[/name]
[name]Herbie[/name]
[name]Duke[/name]
Charlie
last names of famous jazz musicians that could work as first names imo-
([name]Cab[/name]) [name]Calloway[/name]
([name]Duke[/name])[name]Ellington[/name]
([name]Miles[/name]) [name]Davis[/name]
20’s names-
[name]Langston[/name]

[name]Raymond[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Howard[/name]
[name]Harry[/name]
[name]Ralph[/name]
[name]Carl[/name]
[name]Ernest[/name]
Definitely [name]Etta[/name], also [name]Myrtle[/name] and [name]Daisy[/name] as they were characters in The Great [name]Gatsby[/name]. [name]Ella[/name] still has this feel despite being over-used because of [name]Ella[/name] [name]Fitzgerald[/name]. There is [name]Gertrude[/name] after [name]Gertrude[/name] [name]Stein[/name]. There are also movie star names from the era such as [name]Clara[/name], [name]Mae[/name], [name]Louise[/name], [name]Bebe[/name], [name]Greta[/name] and [name]Norma[/name]. Other flapper names include [name]Violet[/name], [name]Zelma[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Zelda[/name], [name]Roxie[/name], [name]Anita[/name], [name]Zora[/name] and [name]Billie[/name]. [name]Hope[/name] this helps!
