Cool Baby Names

There is a fine line between a cool baby name and a wierd baby name. What makes the difference is often the coolness of the parents giving the name. The name may be way out there but if the parents are cool, most people will accept the name as cool aswell.

Example Cool Names

Apple - Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin
Cool parents come up with a suitably hip name.

Blue Angel - Dave Evans
U2's 'The Edge' chooses an unusual name for his child.

Daisy Boo - Jamie Oliver
Daisy is not that unusual, but Daisy Boo makes it stand out.

Dixie Dot and Bibi Belle - Anna Ryder Richardson
Consistent and cool

Maddox - Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton
A strong cool name

Seven - Erykah Badu
You have to be cool to get away with that one.

What is cool

Excellent, first-rate, imperturbable, informal and casual are all definitions of cool. Choosing a cool baby name may seem like a good idea when your baby is born but try to think what they will feel about their name when they are 20 or 40 years old!

People often copy celebrity names but the problem with this choice of baby name is that the name (or Celebs and baby names concerned) falls from popularity and the name is forever associated with a specific era.
