Mmc at early stages not too long ago and trying again. Thinking of names for fun very early as find it quite fun! I have loads of names I like but are not usable. Any suggestions?

I like:
Pandora (can't use though)
Iseult
Isis (sadly unusable now)

Ignatius
Atlas (but not brave enough)
Sebastian
Robbie (but can't use Robert so stuck)
Jamie (but dislike James so again stuck)

It’s all the same world.

What world do you live in?

the one where kids are called Oliver or George, or Sophie or Hannah

SpottyBrolly · 15/01/2018 17:14

I love Ignatius. Atlas is a big name to carry.

TatianaLarina · 15/01/2018 17:04

What world do you live in?

BeyondThePage · 15/01/2018 16:25

I live in a totally different world...

We've recently had a Phoenix Zephaniah, names we also considered were:
(Boys)
Fox
Ezekiel
Lucan
Zachary
(Girls)
Zephanie

StandardRussian66 · 15/01/2018 16:23

Atlas is really cool! Also like Lazarus.
I would love to be able to call my sons Lucifer and Salem, but they are not good names for a child, so for my cats instead

TatianaLarina · 15/01/2018 16:22

Gwyn means white or bright

KathyBeale · 15/01/2018 16:20

Your husband has bad associations with the name Pandora? Is his name Adrian, by any chance...?

Harebellmeadow · 15/01/2018 16:16

Love Iseult and Isolde
Also
Guinevere and Gwendolyn. I read that the Gwen-prefix indicates blonde hair?

crumpet · 15/01/2018 16:16

Anyone suggested Ptolemy or Peregrine yet?

Haha good luck. I'm not giving you any clues

PositivelyPERF · 15/01/2018 13:57

Glad to read that, OP. I'm just a worrier. I'm now trying to guess your name.

MrsTiggyWinkle3 · 15/01/2018 13:48

I'm not sure how you're brave enough to use Ignatius but not Atlas.

Love Sebastian.

Positively I'm not too scared about being outed I'm fairly open about things in life anyway. But God that was v weird with the names as we have very unusual names.

Yes I could imagine the Pandora's box association. No fun for a teenager

PositivelyPERF · 15/01/2018 12:30

Op, you do realise that anyone that knows you will work out who you are from checking that list, don't you? It wouldn't be hard if they check your history. I hope you haven't posted anything too personal under your mumsnet name.

I'm glad you're not using Pandora. I knew one and she would get the smutty inuendo (sp?) about opening Pandora's Box.

17caterpillars1mouse · 15/01/2018 12:29

I used to really like Pandora until the jewellery brand really took off, now i think its unusable

Iseult is nice enough

Also used to love Isis, but very unfortunately now unusable

A few suggestions; Isolde, Xanthe, Ariadne

From your boys i love Percival (also know 2 Percy's). I prefer Pip as the nickname

I like Sebastian but know loads!

Not a fan of the others. Suggestions; Atticus, Hector, Tristram, Wyatt

Love Iseult, one of my favourites. Prefer it spelt with a Y though.

Love Artemis, Demeter, Io. Like Oriel for a girl. Know an Isidore but he’s French.
