The word cool likely means very different things to very different people, but there's something universal about the "cool" baby names that made the cut on this list. For many parents, the concept of naming can be the most daunting part of the process of preparing for your little bundle of joy, partially because a child's first name oftentimes informs their future identity, individuality, and even personality. The big question rings in your head: "should we go traditional, or should we go the cool route so our child can stand out?"

Fortunately, you can define what "cool" means to you. Seriously, how can you meet a Xavier, Sage, or Bowie and not be a little intimidated by their inevitable cool factor? And because picking any baby name can be hard, if you feel as though you are endlessly searching for the perfect name for your baby but aren't sure what kind of name will best suit your child, starting with cool names that roll right off the tongue is a helpful place to begin crafting your maybe list. Whether you interpret cool as popular, rare, fashionable, or having sentimental meaning in your culture, or even aesthetic, this list will meet all your naming needs.

Scroll through for names so cool, any baby with one will be required to wear sunglasses and a leather jacket at all times.
