Crazy names you didn’t use?

Oh, is mine a list to be judged. Grin

For my 1st, I fully admit I shouldn’t have been allowed to name a cat, let alone a child. She narrowly avoided being called Keilani Aqua.

I hang my head in shame.

My 2nd escaped any really dodgy possibilities, lucky thing.

My 3rd......Well on the list were Scipio, Zealand and Rockford. I hadn’t learned my lesson from number 1.

Not saying I don’t still like them, but I know now they shouldn’t have been on the list!

What names did you have on The List, that you look back and think ‘How was I THAT crazy?’ Grin

I wanted to call DS Gatsby ... DH said no, I’m kinda glad now

Persephone.
I mentioned it to DD (8) recently, she says she prefers the name she has!

They're genuine names but I guess a little crazy

DD - Xcaret, Zazil
DS - Zamna

I have some Mayan background and since we don't live in the area, I wanted my DC to have some good connection to their roots but in the end we went with slightly more regular names with just a tiny bit of a connection.

Esmeralda and Archibald

I wanted to call DS Atlas or River. Both were vetoed by DH and he has a traditional, classic name.

See, I agree with you that as names go, it’s not a truly mental one, it could work!

I really loved Maverick and was on my boy list, however DH refused to even discuss it! I don’t think it’s that bad but everyone I’ve told has looked horrified.
