What celebrity baby name do you wish you could use?

But can't for any reason. Or you don't want to use it because it's a celebrity (or celebrity baby name).

I like harper and elton.

Yes to Harper. I love that name.

I also really like Mallory. I don't think I'd ever use it anyway, but couldn't because of the meaning (unlucky) and the Natural Born Killers connection!

I can't think of a single one! Not unless they have something sensible like Elizabeth.

Olive (Drew Barrymores DD), as im just too damn scared. Considered Liv for DD, with no longer version but got the fear Grin I would love love to use Olive for DD2 and use nn Liv.

Huckleberry (Bear Grylls son) has an awesome name but I live in a sea of Jacob, Ella, Sam names so he would stand out like a sore thumb.

tidydancer I was going to call my son Mallory after George Mallory, but someone said it was sinister and could be unlucky Sad

DS was going to be Marnie if he had been a girl.

I bet thingummybob stole the name from my thread on here.

Recall - yeah, it's Juliette Lewis's character in NBK. That doesn't bother me as much as the unlucky thing. :(

Not a celebrity baby name as such but I love Phillipa/Pippa and feel that it's been ruined.

Tamsin Outhwaite also has a Marnie, in addition to a Florence.

I like Marlowe, a la Sienna Miller.

P.S. Yes, I think Harper is unusable now unless it's a family name.

Love Harper! Think everyone would just assume it's 'copying' the Beckhams though :(

I loved Geri Halliwells Bluebell. She born days after my daughter, and it was absolutely perfect as there were in fact bluebells everywhere!
