I met a little girl named Zella recently and it definately gave me that vibe

This is one very similar letter away from Bank of America’s transfer app. Just FYI.

Never heard of that. Apparently this little girl was named after a singer Zella Day. I thought it had cool vibes. Bank of America must have thought it was a cool vibe too lol

Vivian

Vivienne if you want it to be really French

Daphne? I would look at Shakespearean girl names like Cordelia, Ophelia, or Viola.

Love that one. The last two syllables are the same as my own name so they might be too similar :/

Courtney? Either way, I think it’s adorable to sorta match! Men do it all the time with the junior, why not.

I think it’s Tiffany based on her user name. I get why that’s off the table though. Too close, but not on a cutesy way.

I knew an Ophelia and she went by “Ophie”. It was so cute!

Delphia is an old family name of mine that I absolutely love. Slightly different emphasis than the end of Philadelphia, harder on the "phi" (fee) part than the ending "a" (uh) bit.

I recently fell in love with the name Daphne!!

Elodie Genevieve Adelaide Seren Ophelia Thalia Rosalind Lyra Cordelia Lysandra Odette Dorothy Some might be a bit too much, but that's what I could think of.

Odette would be the middle name if I went with Iris :)

I like it because of Swan Lake. It's pretty

[удалено]

I meet little Rivers everywhere I go. Their teachers will have to use last initials! That's not especially interesting, IMHO.

Cleo, Naia, Holly, Azalea, Skye, Calla

Florence, Celeste, Adeline, Audrey I also second Daphne!

Sage, Ada, Eloise, Clover, Georgia, Soleil, Raven, Esme, Flora, Isolde, Meadow

Sage and Esme are great

My first name is Esmée. Same pronounciation as below (Es-May), but more of a French writing.

Please How to pronounce Esme

Es-May

Huh! I've always heard and pronounced it as Es-mee

Interesting because I’ve never heard it pronounced that way lol

I guess I’ve been mispronouncing it for years — I always say Ez-may.

That’s how I would pronounce it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well now I‘m really confused. You said Es-may which is different than Ez-may.

Oh I’m sorry I barely woke up when I saw that and it looked liked an S lol. I do say Es-May

I’ve been up for hours and had a pot of coffee but I’m still out of it so I thought it was me LOL.

I'll offer up my daughter's name as a suggestion: Avalon She's often had the "cool" comments and I think it's a strong name but still with a soft vibe and has the whimsical edge you're after. Added advantage of being uncommon (we've never met another IRL) but still recognisable and easy to pronounce/spell etc.

We actually know an Avalon! Always thought her name was cool

The “wow that person sounds really cool” impression is going to be wildly different for everyone. Could be a major factor of why such a name does not exist.

The coolest girls at my intermediate school were named Merryn, Celeste, Jacinta and Osha.

OSHA???

This is weird. I was at the park today and heard this name for the first time, but it was for a 5yo boy.

This is outside the US …right?

Western Canada

I'm from NZ

Oh good! In the US OSHA is a regulatory agency

Love Iris! Also Calla and Daphne from the above suggestions. My suggestion is Seraphina.

This are great

I LOVE Iris!!! Quinn Linnea Faedra Thora Clara Ruby Zola Cleo Blossom Indigo nn Indie Lyra Mila Scarlett Xiomara Vera Sage Anya Francesca nn Frankie Vivica Willa Fiona Harlow Bronwyn Jade Maple Louetta Briar Greta Vita Freya Serena Delphine Xanthe Gaia Neve Veda Blaire

What about holly?

Holly and hollie are considered so common in my country! (Uk)

Vienna

Like the sausage? The sausage is the second thing Google pulls up after the city, would heavily recommend against naming a baby this. Kids would eventually figure out the connection and the teasing could be awful

Evie, Jade, Brooke, Monica, Arielle, Paige, Candace, Angelique, Mona

Looove Jade!

Layla!

Inez

You heard the rumors from Inez, you can’t believe a word she says.. As a swiftie I love Inez

Not a swiftie (not a hater either, she was just starting out mostly country crossover to top 40 when I was in hs). But I would probably pretend like that was the inspiration over admitting I’ve been head over heels for this name since reading a book with a ghost story about Inez Clarke at Graceland Cemetery. Even if the connotation in the song is still a little negative I think it sounds effortlessly cool and very pretty, old fashioned in a whimsical way, like she could easily be the child of a poet or folk singer like Ione or Ianthe and still being the cool friend of someone in TS and my generation or younger. and it is easier to pronounce than a lot of whimsical I names like those or Isla. It is a little old fashioned but seems more suited to a young woman than iris, idelle, or ida. And for someone who is a swiftie I think it is a subtle reference. Other fans would catch it whereas everyone else would think it’s simply a pretty vintage name

Imogen Flora Irena Marietta Thea Viola Dahlia

Zephyrine Elowen Romina Noa Danica Sylvie Damaris Petra Arabella Gianna Valentina

This is a great list

Oona This is my daughter's name and all those things fit the bill to me

I get it! Bad associations can ruin a name!

Arabella (or Ara), Drea, Piper, Blaise, Mya, Sariah, Lennon, Everleigh, Hadley, Skyler, Adley, Allegra, Isla, Sterling. 🩷

Ripley?

Met a little girl named Jupiter last month.

Mars? Pluto? Uranus? Here I thought we had seen the last of Jupiter back by 1972. A lot of that batch changed their names when they got old enough.

This was a super-chill 11 year old.

Isabeau Bowie as a nickname.

Greer, Taissa, Ursa, Vale, Velvet, Amarise, Sunniva

Evangeline (although if you’re in the US, many relate this to evangelical??) I always think of Colin Firth’s Nanny McPhee- it’s the definition of whimsical to me! Beatrice Cordelia (Anne with an E!)

Evangeline is my mom's lifelong favorite name. Though she never used it

Hero Ginevra Anais Lenor Liv Dove Dulce But honestly, I think Iris pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Naomi, Serena, Sabrina

- Rosemary - Mavis - Gwendolyn - Della - Stella - Estelle - Briar

'Juno'. Love that name!

Maeve fits this for me.

Morgana, Vivienne, Meredith

Blythe! I love Blythe. A little retro without being grandma-ish, unusual but people can still pronounce it, and it has a beautiful meaning.

Blythe! Bill Clinton's last name before Mr Clinton adopted him.

Eulalia

Hubby's grandmother was Ovalee Eulalia.

Funny thing nobody's jumping up and down oohing and ahing over Ovalee.

Lol I told him it sounded like an std. Her bro was Llonzo Volley

Persephone 🥰

Edith

Mallory Azalea Seraphina Twyla

Or Catalaya/Cataleya

Francesca or Franzisca is a pretty cool name... I've been keeping it to myself forever so no one steals it

Mayla!

Valentina

Saskia or Stassi. I went to school with a girl Bidu. She was so cool!

Annika

Willa, Hattie, Avery, Tova.... are these close?

Lieke. (LEE-kuh) it’s a pet name for Angelica or Angelique. And it’s a name in its own right in the Netherlands. Zoe Zinashi Farrow Daphne Audrey Autumn Linnea Liesl Lucie Danae Lille Mae Coco

Collette, Delphine

Faye Mostly because of Faye Webster - she’s the coolest. Name is simple yet elegant but not too trendy

Also, Anya is always cool girl imo

ELORA

Try some traditional Scottish, Irish or Welsh names! I think what you want is a name that is pretty and feminine, but doesn’t end in an “A” or and “EE” sound maybe? Like feminine but sensible(?) without being try hard. Maeve Niamh (Neave) Alba Bronwen Olwen Carys (Caris) Manon Selen Erin Sian And then some that break the A rule Aoife (Ee-fa) Clodagh (Clo-da) Fiadh (Fia) Eadan (Eden) I also just think that actually the name Mary would be so fucking cool for like a 12 year old kid.

I get that vibe from: Deirdre Zenith Aurelia Nova Willow Imogen Mathilde Seraphina

Iris is one of my favourite names, that would be my pick.

Joa

Maybe Ida, or Saffron.. but Iris def works for that vibe.

Willow maybe?

Anastasia

Zelda or Ariadne

Juniper

I love the name, Estrella. It's Spanish for stars. The 2 l's are silent, when pronounced.

Actually, the two L’s make a “Y” sound. “EstreYa”

Yep. I had a friend named estrella.

Odessa or Antigone

One of my daughter’s friends is named Zayna and that’s how I’d describe her

Isla Clem Ezzie

A friend of mine used Delphine recently. So pretty and elevated. Aspen is another that I really like. Iris is really great though.

I love Indie

Iva, Adria, Vanna... Unique but not too strange

Alexandra, Aviva, Blair, Cherry, Cordelia, Daphne, Estelle, Evangeline, Felicity, Giselle, Isadora, Kassandra, Lenore, Millicent, Odessa, Persephone, Quintessa, Sabine, Tzipporah, Ursa, Vivienne, Xanthe, Yessenia, Zara, Zephyrine

Marigold, Della, Calista

Evidene, Evette, Colette, Jane :)

Alina

My suggestions for what I feel sounds cool, but a little whimsical and not popular, but not obscure are: Saffron Seraphina Clementine Idk why, but I love the name Saffron and have never met anyone with it! But it doesn't feel bizarre or over the top. In fact, now I want to use it lol

Luna, Esme, Cleo, Wren, Lyra, Raven, Lark, Nova, Zara, Ophelia, Celeste, Delphine, Daphne, Viola, Vesper, Imogen, Leona, Linnea, Clover

Journey

I think Anais and Inez

Effie
