When I found out I was pregnant with my first daughter, I scoured the internet for cool girl names that were stylish, uncommon, and full of personality. I wasn’t interested in the most popular baby girl names — I’d grown up sharing a classroom with three other Laurens and wanted something different for my own kids. I wanted a name that stood out, but still felt beautiful, modern, and full of personality.
Funny enough, I ended up choosing classic, old-fashioned names for both of my girls — Samantha and Charlotte. Even though they lean vintage, I still think they’re some of the coolest girl names out there. (And I guess the royals agree — Charlotte skyrocketed in popularity after William and Kate chose it for their daughter!)
Celebrities are famous for picking cool names for girls — from bold and edgy to stylish and unexpected. And while not every parent wants to name their daughter Chicago or Stormi, celebrity baby names can spark fun inspiration for your own list.
