Old Hollywood Names

DMDavidson

After coming up with the name Lana I've been trying to think of other cool old Hollywood names.

Ideas?

Bette (Davis, not Midler)

Veronica

Harlow

Marilyn ?

Katherine

Audrey

Obviously, those aren't all old sounding, but they are all old Hollywood actresses. ?

Such cute ideas! Thanks guys - several of these could make great name combos.

This is just the style of name I love- the girl names we had picked out were Cora or Charlotte.

?

FYI- I LOVED the name Lana at one point, but then I learned in Spanish it means "wool." Not like that is a really bad thing but it may affect your decision. ?Check any name against other common languages- I love google translator!

That hadn't even occurred to me.

What about Etta, for the singer Etta James? (Although actually her name was Jamesetta, I think!)

Oh, I like it! Etta is cute. 

Kelly Madonna

Does Natalie count as Old Hollywood? Or there's Lauren?
