Old Hollywood Glamour names with a twist...

General Name Discussion
1

We need glamorous, elegant, cool and sophisticated names for our baby if it’s a girl. Something that will be unique, and she will get complemented on. There are plenty of choices but the problem is that we can’t find any that we love.

Here are the names we kind of like but do not love - we definitely need suggestions!

Am”lie [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name]

[name]Eve[/name] [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name] - I don’t know if it fits the description that we are looking for. We really don’t like te alternatives [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], etc.)

”va ([name]Ava[/name]) [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name] - (love it but it has lost its originality because of the common
[name]Ava[/name] and we don’t like the alternatives [name]Avery[/name], Avaline, etc.)

Evienne [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name] - what are your perceptions of Evienne? I love the nickname [name]Evie[/name], and my family is from [name]Vienne[/name], [name]Austria[/name]. Is it weird though?

[name]Scarlett[/name] - Again, we like it but don’t love it. Plus I hate the idea of people calling her Scarly, Scar, and Scary…ick.

[name]Juliet[/name] - I love the romantic and sophisticated feeling, but I have an astranged sister named [name]Julie[/name], so I could never use a name with [name]Julie[/name] in it.

[name]Harlow[/name] - It’s cool but I am trying so hard to think it’s pretty but I really don’t see it. It reminds me of [name]Harlem[/name].

[name]Ella[/name] - It’s ok but not special.

[name]Arabella[/name] - starting to maybe like it, but I’m still not sure about it

[name]Violet[/name] - My husband likes it, but it’s a bit too old fashioned for me.

If it’s a boy:

[name]Johannes[/name] - may like it
[name]Anders[/name] - we get a lot of bad perceptions of this name
[name]Gabo[/name] - I like it but my husband doesn’t
[name]Oliver[/name] - [name]Ollie[/name] [name]Olson[/name] might be a little too much for a little boy

Please help! We don’t have any idea what to do!

Hmm. I like some of your names! Especially Evienne and [name]Scarlett[/name]. A lot of people don’t like it, but I think Scar is a cool nickname!
I’m not fond of [name]Arabella[/name] or [name]Ella[/name] though.
Some other names you might like are:
Girls:
[name]Gratia[/name] ([name]Grey[/name]-sha)
[name]Ingrid[/name] or [name]Inger[/name]
[name]Marlow[/name]- this may be a nicer variation to [name]Harlow[/name].
[name]Etta[/name]

That’s all I can think of for now

We need glamorous, elegant, cool and sophisticated names for our baby if it’s a girl. Something that will be unique, and she will get complemented on. There are plenty of choices but the problem is that we can’t find any that we love.

Here are the names we kind of like but do not love - we definitely need suggestions!

Am”lie [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name] - [name]Amalie[/name] is pretty. So is [name]Amelie[/name]! But they are so much like [name]Emily[/name] which is too popular. What about [name]Amandine[/name]?

[name]Eve[/name] [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name] - I don’t know if it fits the description that we are looking for. We really don’t like te alternatives [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], etc.) - I love [name]Eve[/name], but then lots of people start talking about where [name]Adam[/name] is. Tedious.

”va ([name]Ava[/name]) [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name] - (love it but it has lost its originality because of the common
[name]Ava[/name] and we don’t like the alternatives [name]Avery[/name], Avaline, etc.) - yeah, too many Avas which would be perfect, too bad.

Evienne [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Olson[/name] - what are your perceptions of Evienne? I love the nickname [name]Evie[/name], and my family is from [name]Vienne[/name], [name]Austria[/name]. Is it weird though? - sounds like [name]Evian[/name] water.

[name]Scarlett[/name] - Again, we like it but don’t love it. Plus I hate the idea of people calling her Scarly, Scar, and Scary…ick. - If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

[name]Juliet[/name] - I love the romantic and sophisticated feeling, but I have an astranged sister named [name]Julie[/name], so I could never use a name with [name]Julie[/name] in it. - Yeah, that’s a problem.

[name]Harlow[/name] - It’s cool but I am trying so hard to think it’s pretty but I really don’t see it. It reminds me of [name]Harlem[/name]. - I think [name]Harlow[/name] is going to get too popular. It has a ton of buzz on Nameberry.

[name]Ella[/name] - It’s ok but not special. - overdone.

[name]Arabella[/name] - starting to maybe like it, but I’m still not sure about it. It’s very pretty, but so frilly.

[name]Violet[/name] - My husband likes it, but it’s a bit too old fashioned for me. - I love it, but I love [name]Vivian[/name] even more.

If it’s a boy:

[name]Johannes[/name] - may like it - I would love it as a middle name.
[name]Anders[/name] - we get a lot of bad perceptions of this name - there was a very good-looking [name]Anders[/name] on my daughter’s swim team. He went off to college.
[name]Gabo[/name] - I like it but my husband doesn’t - not my style.
[name]Oliver[/name] - [name]Ollie[/name] [name]Olson[/name] might be a little too much for a little boy - yep, too much imo.

[name]Audrey[/name] (Hepburn) - but it’s getting popular.

I really love the style of names you listed. Though I don’t think any of them have Hollywood significance, I tried coming up with some more that have kind of a glamourous feel.

[name]Marielle[/name]
[name]Lena[/name]
[name]Belle[/name]
[name]Corinna[/name]
[name]Arminda[/name]
[name]Rosalia[/name]
[name]Arcelia[/name]
[name]Eulalie[/name]
[name]Marilla[/name]
[name]Dinah[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name]
Magdelena
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Camelia[/name]

[name]Hi[/name] there! I second [name]Susan[/name]‘s comments about the girls’ names, especially Evienne. (I think it’s very pretty, though.) :slight_smile:

[name]Johannes[/name]: Pronunciation may be an issue…
[name]Anders[/name]: I love this name, and know a darling [name]Anders[/name]. :slight_smile:
[name]Gabo[/name]: With [name]Greta[/name] [name]Gabo[/name] being my first association with [name]Gabo[/name], I personally wouldn’t use this on a boy. Have you thought about [name]Gable[/name] (as in [name]Clark[/name])?
[name]Oliver[/name]: I love [name]Ollie[/name], but like you said, it’s not the best with [name]Olson[/name].

I normally check the previous posts to avoid repeats, but in this case, I think it may be helpful for you to see if different people have the same associations with the same names…

[name]Aurelia[/name] (although names ending in A halt the flow with [name]Olson[/name] to me, due to the back-to-back vowels)
[name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] (popular, though)
[name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Colette[/name]
[name]Cosette[/name]
[name]Camille[/name] (a bit awkward with [name]Olson[/name] because of the Ls)
[name]Cora[/name]/[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] (not the best with your last name)
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] (nn [name]Evie[/name]) (I love this with your last name!) :slight_smile:
[name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Georgina[/name]
[name]Greta[/name]
[name]Ginevra[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Luciana[/name]
[name]Marielle[/name] (hard to say with your last name because of the L’s in both names)
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] (although P.O., as in P.O.'d --“p_ssed off”–may not be the best initials)
[name]Veronica[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name] (has the N ending, though)
[name]Viviana[/name]

I listed a lot of names ending in A, but I love the flow of [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Olson[/name] and the other non-A-ending names with your last name.

Boys:

[name]Atticus[/name] (not the best flow with your last name)
[name]Barnaby[/name]
[name]Conrad[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] (I love this with your last name!)
[name]Elliot[/name] (ditto)
[name]Evander[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]
[name]Gregory[/name] (but I don’t think that [name]Greg[/name] has [name]Gregory[/name]'s Hollywood feel)
[name]Gabriel[/name] (L heavy with your last name, but I think it could be a source of “[name]Gabo[/name]”)
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Maxfield[/name]
[name]Montgomery[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Raphael[/name] (not the best with your last name), nn [name]Rafe[/name]
[name]Reid[/name]
[name]Raymond[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Victor[/name]
[name]Whittaker[/name]
[name]Wesley[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name]

Best wishes to you! :slight_smile:
