What name do you secretly like but would never name a child it?

[skratta]

I like Raven. For a boy- not even for a girl.

And Wolf. I don't think I could name a child that, but I love the nn Wolfie!

Thor. Don't think it'd work out in real life.

Aphrodite. Again, love the name

Rune. I just love the name for a boy!

Btw, I wouldn't EVER name my child Raven (for a boy), Wolf, Thor, Aphorodite or Rune. But I still love them.

Does anyone else have any guilty pleasure names?

[Wishiwasanheiress]

Sharon.

I know many lovely Sharon's and always liked the name as a child. Am embarrassed but I really couldn't as much as I still like it.... :(

[willoughboobs]

cherry
storm
raven
albus
star

[nahla321]

Dawn - I think it is beautiful but would put me off as it is a tad old fashioned ??

[AlwaysHoldingOnToStarbug]

I like Raven for a boy too.

I always loved Orion, but DH wouldn't even let me use it as a middle name.

And I still love Ptolemy, and sometimes wish I was brave enough to have named DS5 it!

[Thumbwitch]

Jasper
Zephyr
Ariadne
Evadne
Cecily - less "out there" but the repercussions if she should have a lisp!

[skratta]

I love Ariadne, Zephyr, Orion, Dawn, Storm, Star and yes, Sharon. I like a LOT of names.

[ShowOfHands]

I'd happily use some of these.

I LOVE Bodhi. Like the look of it, like the meaning, sound etc. But out loud it sounds American Jock. His BFFs would be Brady and Carter. Not my kind of thing sadly.

[TheYamiOfYawn]

Jocasta. And (and it obviously goes without saying that I would never use it) Lucifer.

[BuntyPenfold]

Halcyon

[Convert]

Tiger. I really wanted to call DS1 Tiger.

[Lottapianos]

Lucifer is a really cool name!
I like Myra but would never use for obvious reasons.
Also Tori as I'm a huge fan of Tori Amos but in UK people would just think I'm a hardcore member of the Dave and Gideon club and I would rather die!

[fl0b0t]

Danger. As a middle name.

[MsBrown]

Ryan - for a girl.
Dylan - for a girl.
Anastasia - for a girl.
Maple - for a girl.

Demetrius - for a boy.
Leonardo - for a boy.
Julian - for a boy.

[TiaMariaandSpringCleaning]

Girls:
Ebony (not least because DCs are likely to be blonde!)
Anastasia
Jasmine

Boys:
River
Tristan
Jackson (DH hates this, I love it)

[Petsinmypudenda]

Billie for a girl has been my number one name since i was 6

My sister got in there first though

[Purplecatti]

Wilhelmina
Raven
Willow
Rowan
Ariana
Peregrine

[ImNotaPheasantPlucker]

Dmitri and Raphael

[Flojobunny]

Anastacia. But, after Miss Steele, I would never use it.

[EclecticElectric]

Geno
Juan
and yes, Raven on the Wing

[SorrelForbes]

Posy
Horatio

[BringBackBod]

Jolyon
Robin

[Mackay556]

Rocky. I would call my son Rocky but DH says no way. As a concession I am allowed to give the cat Rocky as a middle name ........

[nilbyname]

My kids names are on here!!

[BuntyPenfold]

nilby, please tell me you have a Halcyon!

[mimmymouse]

Fl0b0t - love it! And ShowOfHands, I once taught a Bohdi - lovely little girl!

Juniper - but my husband says that is the gin talking.
