This week's list focuses on underused or little known Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Cornish, Manx and Breton names that, for one reason or another, have a very "current" appeal.
Some have the popular 2-syllable bell tone pattern that is popular in much of the Top 100 (Logan, Jacob, Alfie, Lily, Ava, Ella); others have an accessible spelling, and some have a sleek sound.
In fact, they have many of the same advantages that Cosy Celtic names have. But, unlike the Cosies, these Coolies are underused, and arguably, much more individual.
Anglicised spellings are in brackets.
