What baby names did you "just HAVE to" use when you were pregnant that you were talked out of, and realise now are awful?

I was desperate to name DS Sirius, or to at least use it as a middle name, when I was pregnant. At the time, I was really upset that DH wouldn't even consider it and instead, every time I brought it up, would reply "Sirius-ly?". I'm so just relieved that I didn't tell anyone else this was the name I wanted to use so didn't have to face a load of Hmm faces! Grin

Lorcan for a boy, too Scottish for me now. (I'm Scottish btw!)

Magda for a girl- but actually it's my best name, going to make actual dd use this for her dd one day!

Anemone. I still love it, actually.

On the HP theme I was quite keen on Severus (nickname Sev) when I was pregnant. Fortunately for us all, the baby was a girl. Sill think it would have been quite cool though.
