Cool, OK, or Not Your Type?

This is a list of names on a site I found recently of names that the authors of the site claim all of your friends will think are cool. So I figured, lets put it to the test! Upon viewing the list, I can tell you that I am not a fan of all the names. There aren’t any names that I hate, but there are some that just don’t quite fit my naming style. Here is the list:

Ash
Asia
Beckett
Bronwyn
Cameron
Cormac
Cruz
Dashiell
Delaney
Delilah
Donovan
Elvis
Finn
Georgia
Gus
Hudson
Jackson
Jude
Lark
Lola
Maisie
Matteo
Miles
Nico
Paloma
Rowan
Sam
Sasha
Siena
Violet
Willa

Some of the names I do like on this list, and could see myself using, are Ash, Bronwyn (I know a Brenwyn and I think I prefer it with the e), Finn, Jude, Lola, Miles, Rowan, Sam, Violet, and Willa. Other names that I like, but might not actually name my child, are Beckett, Cameron, Dashiell, Delaney, Delilah, Georgia, Gus, Hudson, Jackson, Maisie, Nico, and Sasha.

Now, I have to ask, are there any of these names that aren’t your style? Or does the assumption made by the authors stand true and you think that each one of these names is cool?

  1. We've had Rowan tagged for a boy since naming talks began. I like nature names and Rowan is actually a type of tree...so there ya go. Nico just makes me think of "give me a word, any word, and I will show you how the root of that word is Greek".

  2. Oh Nico. I think of an awful Disney show called "Sonny with a Chance". One of the bumbling side kicks is Nico, which is why I just couldn't see myself picking that name.

  3. OK there are quite a few that I would not pick. I don't hate them just not my type of name. Here are the ones I would possibly use:
    Jackson
    Jude
    Lola
    Sam
    Sasha
