Names that are too cutesy/weird for anyone living in the real world

I love love love babyish and cute girl names like:

Sissy
Kitty
Bunny

but the incredible teasing of being a child with a name like that, in your typical school, must be awful. What are names you know you could never use?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@reservoircats where was this? I was near Birmingham in 2006, ring any bells?

@DeathByMascara I wonder if we used to work together.... I know an exact same Candy

I teach a Kitty- she’s really down to earth and lovely. No bullying as far as I can see

My mum's sister was just called (Auntie) Bunny, never anything else. I didn't find out until her funeral that her real name was Margaret.

I had a friend called Dolly when I lived in Australia. Was a nickname, but I didn't know her as anything else. I adored her, she was fabulous!

Also used to work with a woman called Candy. I pictured someone blonde, dressed in pink and incredibly bubbly...the only word I can used to describe her in reality was 'dowdy'. She personified the colour grey, it was quite jarring.

Dolly is fine too. Could be short for Dorothy although I much prefer Dot.

Dolly Parton.

I adore Kitty.

Those names are fine. Cissy Spacek, Bunny Guinness, Kitty Dimbleby...
Kitty is pretty mainstream.

I know a grown up kitty and it works fine on her!
