Hipster British Girl Names

Hipster British girl names are an exotic and eclectic bunch! From sweet vintage nicknames like Peggy and Posy, to elaborate choices like Pandora and Pollyanna, the Brits are renowned for bestowing quirky baby girl names on their daughters.

Along with Peggy and Pandora, other hipster British baby girl names include Anouk, Coco, Ettie, Indigo, Joni, Romilly, Saffron, and Xanthe. For the very adventurous namer, Peony, Antigone, Tuppence, and Sorrel are among the rarest (and most hipster!) of all.

All of these beautiful British girl names have serious style cred in London right now, but they hit the hipster sweet spot in terms of popularity — none rank in the Top 100 baby girl names in England & Wales, and most sit much lower down the list. If you're looking for a cool British girl name beyond Emma or Elizabeth, here are some of our favorite hipster picks!
