Was talking baby names with my husband yesterday and he admitted to wanting to name a son Aubrey. When I stopped laughing he agreed that it might lead to a little bit of bullying. But then I love
Evelyn (for a boy!) which is equally bad...
Have you or your DP got a secret soft spot for a name that might not go down so well in the playground?

Otis and Rex. But I think both are dog's names!

Ophelia, but can't give that name because of the association with tragedy.

I've always wanted a girl called Aubrey, after the song by Bread. It's beautiful. But over the years whenever I've told a boyfriend they've thought it was horrible. It is a boys name but I think it sounds feminine. Also love Pearl, Tabitha, Tahlulla, Ned, Stanley or TedMy DH was too conservative to dare. Next time.....

Haha I was going to be called Aubrey if I was a boy! I thought it was a bit out there for my parents as my name is so bland and average!
I love Lilac, Bluebell, Baxter, Pearl, Magnus but dh says no!
He is determined if we have a boy to call him Truman. I thought it was great until I tested it out on my friends, they all absolutely hated it!
Love love love Leonard and Ptolemy. Not sure I'd dare though!

Pixie. Dh would never go for it (or let me have more babies for that matter). I'll have to save it for a pet.

Evangeline or Buttercup, both are arguably a bit fru fru bit I do love them. And if DD had been a boy, I was very tempted by Idris.

Myfanwy. But just change the w to an n !
Lots if others too. Where i live you'd be thought of as pretentious if you called a child an unusual name.

How come you think the name Aubrey would get bullied?

My surname is two syllables beginning with C. I would LOVE to call our children Cassius and Clementine. Love the sounds together and if I was Victoria Beckham, I probably would.
Really don't think they'd go down too well at the local comp though.....

Wolfgang, Sebastian and Clover.
Actually there's nothing secret about it, I love these names, and almost wish I had more children now.

Sukie for a girl an lucifer for a boy. I couldn't be that cruel. Although DS does have an unusual name. It doesn't have any connotations of the devil. (Even though sometimes he might [hmmm])

I kept trying to get approval for Worzel from dh, it was only half in jest.
