What's in a Name | Cool Girl Names

“Cool” to me means poised, refined and hip. A name that you can grow into. It will either allow no nicknames and stand all on their own, or it will offer a shorter even more no-nonsense snappy nickname. She can grow up to be a CEO, lead singer, chef, designer, Firefighter or Senator… whatever it may be, her name will wear it well.

1. Sloane

   This is a sophisticated option that will age well with your daughter. Not ultra feminine and certainly not fussy. A great one syllable Irish origin option.

2. Blair

   Another great single syllable name. Depending on your age, you might associate it with the Queen Bee herself, Blair Waldorf.

3. Maxine

   I find thing to be a very chic name with a very ‘cool-girl’ nickname in Max and a very cute baby nickname in Maxy. If you also crave a vintage vibe, this was on the top 100 list from 1915-1930 and has a few celeb namesakes from the period. The latin meaning is “greatest”!

4. Piper

   A Piper is a leader! In the spirit of trendy Pippa. Fits in with sisters with other pretty English names Harlow, Poppy, Scarlett or Violet.

5. Eden

   Paradise found! A naturally peaceful name. I also love the nick name Edie.

Example of combinations: Maxine Blair, Eden Sloane, Piper Maxine.
