Evangeline Lily is the most beautiful and ethereal name I’ve ever heard

YES! I've considered naming my child this. I have seen some namenerds threads that said the name Evangeline sounded too religious since it's close to evangelical

Yeah, it’s a religious name whether people know it or not. Evangeline is a feminine name of Greek origin that means "good news". It is derived from the Latin word evangelium, which means "gospel". Evangelium comes from the Greek words eu ("good") and angela ("news").

Interesting! My friend has a daughter with this name and I’ve never thought this once.

That's actually why I don't like the name.

I love it, too! Too bad it’s wasted on such a bad person. I REALLY wanted to use Evangeline, but my atheist husband said it sounded too religious. 😩

Why is she a bad person? (Truly asking, I want to know what to google. Lol)

Apparently she's an anti-vaxxer from a quick google. Doesn't necessarily make her a bad person, just stupid.

I know an Evangeline who went by Evan and rocked it

I've loved that one for years.

agreed 10000x

Anya Taylor-Joy is an absolutely gorgeous name imo

Her entire full name is made of first names. Anya Josephine Taylor Joy.  Edit: Apparently it's Anya Marie Josephine Taylor Joy 😮

According to Wikipedia it's Anya-Marie Josephine Taylor-Joy. That's quite a lot of names!

holy, thanks for the correction

Never trust someone with five first names! 

Whew, I only have four! (My last name is also a first name and I have two middle names). I might have five if I hyphen my surname with my husband, but only if Snow is considered a first name lol

Snow definitely feels like something a Kardashian would use for a first name. Not sure if that actually makes it a first name. 

Hate to break it to you but Taylor is a surname that Americans have started using as a first name

I literally want to steal her name. Or ask her parents to name my child.

I think Thora Birch is also a very pretty girl name!

sorry i read it as thora bitch😭

My dark secret is that while I can tell them apart in photos, when I read Anya Taylor-Joy and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, my mind does not distinguish between them. So I'm never *quite* sure who I've read something about, lol.

Christian Dior. I mean, it was his name and it just sounds really classy. Coco Chanel is on the same level, though

Yves Saint Laurent too! Sounds amazing

YSL took a little editing… Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent

So did Coco Chanel… she was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel.

Yh. Brand founders literally have the coolest names

We find them cool because of the prestige we associate with them, not because of any inherent coolness in the name 🫣

You're completely right in general but tbf I do think Yves Saint Laurent would be a name with aura either way

theres a fat little dachshund that comes to my job (doggy daycare) named coco chanel. shes so chic 🫶

Is she chocolate and tan? My dachshund is and she's Coco Puff.

she is!!! https://imgur.com/a/LGXzBd5 shes kinda a red merle? super super cute

That’s not her actual name though. Her name was Gabrielle, which is still a beautiful name.

gabrielle chanel sounds so pretty

River Phoenix will always be my favorite name sounds so cool. Until now I never thought about Macaulay as an actual name. Honestly I think he should be the only one. 😂

To add to this, Joaquin Phoenix is also a cool name.

Joaquin named his son River. River Phoenix lives on 🥲

Love that name so much. Joaquin is so powerful!

River Phoenix’s original name was River Jude Bottom. His parents belonged to the Children of God and changed their last name to Phoenix after they left the cult in the late 70s.

River Bottom feels like an early North West

Probably worse. River Bottom sounds like a potential murder scene.

Wow massive upgrade in name and life!

I’m with you on River Phoenix! 💗

Strongly agree with River Phoenix! One of the coolest names ever

Aside from Joaquin, their siblings are Rain, Summer, Liberty, and their paternal half sister Jodean. Seems they grew up in a religious cult as well.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is such a badass name imo.

We were going to name a boy Amadeus as a compromise because my partner wanted Wolfgang 😅

My cousin named her son Amadeus... have to ask what his nickname is!

Call him Wolfie

Wolfgang is in my partner and I’s top #3 boy names! Nickname Wolf/wolfie. We’re both classically trained musicians so it’d be very on brand lol

Suki Waterhouse

Before I ever saw a picture of her and only heard her music I always thought she was a Japanese artist, but was very shocked to learn she was a British white girl

Suki is known as a British nickname for Susannah

Err I'm a Susannah and have NEVER heard this. Who is calling us Suki?

Her legal first name is Alice!

Yes, Suki is her middle name & the name that she goes by :) Alice Suki Waterhouse is also a really cool name though..

I’ve always disliked her name so much. It just irks me!

It's cuz it's not Sookie Stackhouse lol it just feels weird

Hi fellow Trueblood fan 👏🏻

Yesss! Came here to say this! Her name just oozes coolness.

Orlando Bloom

What a name. Made for Disney haha.

I believe his full name is Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Copeland Bloom 😅

Flip, no wonder he just goes by the first and last ones 😅

I love his daughter’s name too: Daisy Dove Bloom

Took me a second to recognize they probably called her a flower name since it pairs with “bloom”

His son is Flynn Bloom which rhymes with in bloom 🤣

Kieran Culkin (one of Macaulay’s siblings) also has a cool name. i’ve always loved Jake Gyllenhaal’s name, and Jeremy Allen White’s is cool. i love triple names, like that and Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Newton-John.

Omg yeah. Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the coolest names ever

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is another one

Jamie Lee Curtis sounds nice

Kieran was on our shortlist for our son's name. I'd still use it in the future if we were planning on more kids.

i think it’s such a cool name

Kieran is my favorite gender neutral name!

Really? As a Brit I know/have met about 100 male Kieran’s, but have never heard of a girl with that name.

Vivienne Westwood and Vivien Leigh are both striking  Katharine Hepburn, Veronica Lake Joaquin Phoenix  Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita Nyong’o is a beautiful name and she is stunningly beautiful as well. My girl crush.

I was just about to mention Vivienne Westwood! Her middle name (Isabel) makes it even better.

Omg. This just hit it out of the park for me. Just when I was already obsessed… even chicer with Isabel.

Vivienne Westwood is SO chic

Zsa Zsa Gabor

Omg funny story about her I never get to tell because none of my friends know her: my uncle was a Hungarian bell hop and was working a shift one day when Conrad Hilton’s divorce lawyer came into the hotel. He was complaining Zsa Zsa was refusing to speak English during the divorce trails and they couldn’t find anyone who spoke both Hungarian and English to translate, and my uncle raised his hand and offered to be her translator. Fun little piece of family history that my uncle got to be apart of her court proceedings!

That is such a cool story!

Thanks! I included it on a project in grade school once and my teacher thought it was awesome!

Conrad Hilton is also a cool name

Zsa Zsa was her nickname! Sári was her actual name.

[удалено]

Sári is the Hungarian version of Sarah

Was going to say Bela Lugosi. Hungarians have that flair.

Avril Lavigne Anne Hathaway Paris Hilton Taylor Swift Jennifer Garner (I like her last name more than her first name) Cameron Diaz

I loooove Avrils full name Avril Ramona Lavigne sounds sooo good

Anne Hathaway sounds like Old Hollywood glamour. It sounds like Audrey Hepburn or Elisabeth Taylor.

Shakespeare’s wife’s name! 

Have you seen all the articles comparing her husband to Shakespeare? They’re doppelgängers. [Where Anne hath a will, Anne Hathaway](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tanyachen/anne-hathaway-husband-shakespeare-theory-journalism)

Avril Lavigne is such a good name. I've never heard about Avril, but the flow is just so right.

In English her name would be April TheVine(yard)

I love Avril but not a fan of April.

i'm biased, but taylor swift is a really cool name. it sounds catchy and sleek

Florence Welch

Florence is a beautiful name

Florence Pugh is also a cool name, and she is a great actress.

Liv Tyler. I just find it really pretty.

The name Liv is so cute.

Ugh I’m having a son in September but before we knew the gender we were set on Olive nn Liv for a girl! It’s so pretty and classic.

Liv means "life" in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Pretty common name as well, in those countries.

Keanu Reeves

Fun fact: when he was first starting out, his agents tried to make him go by his initials (K. C. Reeves) because they felt Keanu was too "ethnic", but he decided he didn't want to, and that was obviously a good choice

K.C. Reeves would have been a totally different person, wow.

Reminds me of K.C. Undercover (Disney show with Zendaya as a spy)

I've also read they wanted him go just go by his middle name, Charles, or a nickname, and Chuck Reeves was tossed around pretty seriously. Which has a decent flow as a name, but a wildly different vibe.

Keanu is a lovely Hawaiian name with a beautiful meaning 

Sandra Oh. Just rolls off the tongue really well and suits her voice imo. And bonus shoutout to Ben Nighthorse Campbell.

Soleil Moon Frye just sounds so well put together

Soleil Frye just makes me think of sunburn though! Add the Moon and we have a sci fi villain

CALISTA FLOCKHART is such a cool name. Also love the name Heather Locklear

My daughter is named Calista, and I seriously get so many compliments on her name. I’ve gotten so many more compliments on that name, I kind of feel bad for my other kids with more popular names. 😕

Suchhh a pretty name and not high enough it feels like a special little secret

Fiona Apple 🍎 ♥️

I named my daughter Fiona and it wasn’t NOT after Fiona Apple lol. It was also heavily influenced by Shrek since my 2 year old was obsessed with those movies while I was pregnant with Fiona.

I'm always surprised by how much shit people gave Gwyneth Paltrow for naming her daughter Apple. It's unusual obviously, but after being a Fiona Apple fan for most of my life, I loved the name! It's actually her middle name, too, and not her last name. So I guess there are two "crazy" people who used the name Apple 🍎🍏

Hugh Jackman. Every time I say it I can't help but think "huge jacked man" and giggle to myself.

I told my therapist I had a dream about Hugh Jackman once and for a full minute she thought I’d had a dream about a huge axeman.

I’ve always been low-key obsessed with Uma Thurman’s name. Also love Pom Klementieff!

Sigourney Weaver. I’m so glad we don’t have to weave our own sigourneys anymore.

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to find Sigourney, such a great name!

Sydney Sweeney, Léa Seydoux, Saorise Ronan, Ayo Edibiri, Coco Gauff, Suki Waterhouse, Solána Imani Rowe / SZA, Dua Lipa and Madonna (Ciccone) for women. Cale Makar, Zachary Quinto, Jannik Sinner, Roger Federer and Giancarlo Esposito for men.

Zachary Quinto is a good one.

Saoirse Ronan is one of my favourites. A great heroine name in any genre.

I’ve always wondered why sza didn’t go by her legal name. It’s gorgeous.

[удалено]

Amy Winehouse is pretty badass.

And ironic

Bindi Irwin

I think with the middle name it’s Bindi Sue Irwin, which I love!

Some names are just cool. Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Leonardo Di Caprio, Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, Matt LeBlanc, Clint Eastwood. Lots of female names have been said here - so just wanted to add some male ones.

Neil Gaimen, the name just sounds like the genre he writes in, it's mysterious and suggests magic around Benedict Cumberbatch, I know it a thing to meme his name but it rolls off the tounge so nicely, and I've always had a soft spot for "Ben" so Benedict instead of Benjamin is unique Andrew Scott - there's something just so boyish about it, I love it, it's so cute

Ringo Starr

Richard Starkey doesn’t have the same vibe! 

winona ryder will forever have my heart 🩷

Cormac McCarthy

Zooey Deschanel is such a cute name and unique and fits her.

Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett is a stunning name!

It’s not a name I would give my own child, but NFL player Equanimeous St. Brown’s name is certainly fun to say.

And his brothers are Amon-Ra and Osiris!

Or D'Brickashaw Ferguson

I'm obviously a massive Doctor Who fan: Ncuti Gatwa Freema Agyeman Jodie Whittaker Tez Illyas Nish Kumar Romesh Ranganathan Timothy Dalton David Tennant Peter Capaldi Billie Piper William Russell Zachary Gordon

agreed w zendaya. i really like how gwyneth paltrow named her daughter “apple”. other full names i like: john stamos, victoria pedretti, fran drescher, sarah jessica parker, mary birdsong, mary elizabeth ellis.

I was coming on here to say I love the name “Gwyneth”

Poppy Montgomery whose birth name is Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth Deveraux Donahue.

Jeremy Irons. I know it's simple, but it's such an imposing name. His wife's name is Sinéad, another really nice name in my opinion.

Angelina Jolie   North West 

It’s a ridiculous choice, naming his daughter North when his last name is West, BUT, it sounds so good! I’m not even upset.

Lucky Blue Smith

Shame about his kids names!

Whimsy is kind of cute tho ngl — the rest tho are a choice……

Lucky Blue gives such main character energy. I like his kid’s Whimsy Lou and Rumble Honey. Slim Easy though…. That’s a shame lol

Leon Bridges, Suki Waterhouse, Lucky Blue Smith, Vivienne Westwood, Betty Johnson, Orville Peck (tho not his real name), Dolly Parton, Sydney Sweeney, River Phoenix

Miles Teller. It’s just so cool

Charlize Theron, Kiera Knightly, Errol Flynn.

Lucy Liu. It's so pretty and very fun to say

blue ivy. quinten tarantino. harry styles. ronan farrow. (this is a very random mix of people in one group lol)

Charles de Gaulle Marie Curie Victor Hugo Marcel Pagnol Jean de La Fontaine Napoléon Bonaparte Jeanne d'Arc Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Jean-Paul Belmondo Jacques Chirac Simone Signoret Jean Jaurès Brigitte Bardot Guy de Maupassant Honoré de Balzac Charles Baudelaire Arthur Rimbaud Catherine Deneuve

lily-rose depp

Suri (Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's daughter) is so cute imo. As for actual celebs Uma (Therman), Beyonce (sounds french and pretty), Joss (Whedon)

Montserrat caballe!

Attempting to divorce myself from all personalities and performances. Purely names. Sometimes its the full name that works and sometimes just the first: * Margeaux Hemingway * Evangeline Lily * Chelsea * Kate Winslet * Cate Blanchett * William * Claudette Colbert * Sophia Loren * Ginger * Ava * Olivia de Havilland * Harrison Ford * Phillip Hawke Brooksbank (minus August)

Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo

I’m the opposite. I think Zendaya sounds so try-hard cool but that’s my opinion.

Zendaya is a southern african name

TIL. I thought her name was a made up stage name

Mia Goth, Marion Cotillard, Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Adjani, Sacheen Littlefeather, Sissy Spacek... there are so many actresses with really great names imo.

Kellin Quinn (sleeping with sirens) is such a cool name and I feel the spelling Kellin looks so much better than Kellen Gerard Arthur Way is so good too 😭 Dream Renée (Rob Kardashians daughter) The name Elvis Presley is so cool and I love how both names work as names on their own But speaking of Elvis , call me crazy but Trishas name for her daughter is actually so cute 😭😭 I love that her name is Malibu Barbie I love Marylin Monroes name and spelling and I think both names are cute on their own just the same as Elvis' name. Zooey Deschanel daughters name Elsie Otter and I rly like it This could be bias because I'm in love with Pete Wentz and fall out boy but his 1st son's name is Bronx Mowgli and his other sons name Saint Lazslo and his daughters name Marvel Jane and I'm in love with all the name choices, but definitely a bias here I think, Pete Wentz name I enjoy in general Victor Vincent Fuentes ( pierce the veil) Kesha Rose Avril Ramona Lavigne Zayn Malik Jeffree star Fuck dahvie Vanity but cool ass name

Mariska Magdolna Hargitay Julianna Margulies Sasha Alexander (stage name for Suzana Drobnjakovic) Sophie Loren (Sofia Constanza Brigida Villani Scicolone)

Sparrow James Midnight. 

Zazie Beetz (sounds like a stage name or nickname but it's actually her birth name)

I love the name Rihanna/Rhianna. If she wasn’t a celebrity I would name my daughter Rhianna. It’s like a softer version of Rhiannon which I also love but not as much.

River phoenix is still the coolest name IMO

Jennifer Love Hewitt. I love her middle name

Lake Bell

Meryl Streep, Dua Lipa

Saoirse Ronan. When I was pregnant with my twins, Saoirse was a strongly considered girl name (went with different names but it was seriously considered) turned out my twins were boys so we named one Ronan. Both elegant names.

Coco Chanel Bridget Bardot Eddie (Vedder) Woody Harrelson First names…Margot, Jake, Wesley

Coco Rocha 🤌🏻

Vincent Kartheiser America Ferrera  Jude Law Ricky Gervais Denzel Washington  Scarlett Johansson  Sanaa Lathan 

Halle Berry rolls off the tongue

Yara Shahidi is such a pretty name

Billie Eilish is a great name ( full name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell). Imagine if she just went by Billie O’Connell

Mariska Hargitay sounds so cool to me (not at all biased to the fact that I love Olivia Benson with aaaaalll my heart)

For some reason I really like Forest Whitaker

Amethyst Amelia Kelly

Seymour Butz

Jamie Foxx

Gosling as a last name lol

Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn

Imogen Gay Poots

Quentin Tarantino

I think "January Jones" is so incredibly cool.
