I love most -ette names. there's something saucy and retro about them. I think they are going to be the next big thing in cool naming trends. Their time will come! I have been in love with Georgette and Simonette for approximately a million years.

Jeanette - definitely has a hipster future. It's like Frances or Matilda. Actually, Frances, Matilda and Jeanette would be perfect sisters. It's smart and chic.
Nanette - ADORABLE. It just bounces along like a ponytail.
Annette - I was just thinking about this one the other day. It's sweet! I know it's not really "fresh", but I think Annette Marie would be just about the prettiest combo around. or Marie-Annette as a double name. Oooh.
Cosette - I've never been a fan of Les Mis, so I don't care about the association. I love the "zette" part of the sound.
Lisette - Like Cosette, but BETTER!
Vivette - oohh never seen this one before! I liiiike it.
Yvette / Evette - I don't know why everyone says Yvonne is so nice. Not when Yvette exists! Yvonne is so mopey and moany. Yvette is SHARP.

And to a lesser extent these...

Babette - really makes a statement. Sexy, lush and light, like a mousse.
Georgette - love. true love. My favourite form of the George-lady names. I would use it in a hot minute.
Colette - I've tried to make myself love this name. It's got all the things I love. But something about it just turns me cold. I think it's because my accent turns it into "kuh-lett" or "klet" almost. It's sad. Like how my family mangles Eleanor into "elner". Colette Eléonor would be a beautiful combo...
Olivette - all of it! I love that :)
Suzette - dance-y sassy pertness
Bernadette - I can't do Bern- names, but I love the strength yet frilliness of this one
Josette - way cuter than Josephine
Paulette - humble and sugar-pink.
