Hi all 🤍

I thought this would be quite fun and interesting to do.. what are some guilty pleasure names you love? I'll start ..

Girl- Alaska
Boy- Koa

I'd never use these names as there just abit too out there for me and quite frankly, I don't even know if they are names 😂

@SnottyLottie

Girls: Bluebell - possible middle name Coco - would only ever use as a nickname (maybe for Cordelia) Honey Maple

Boys:
Fox - almost used as a middle name for DS2
Catesby

I actually know a Bluebell & a Coco irl! Coco is a boy though.

@Traumdeuter Godfrey instead of Geoffrey and Geraldine instead of Gabrielle? Hard Gs for the boys and soft for the girls Grin

@Elspethelf

Mars for a boy. I live in the US so I think I could actually get away with it. Darling as a middle name for a girl.
You could definitely get away with that!

And Darling is a lovely name 💜

@Wailywailywaily I love this fantasy but it’s a mix of hard and soft G sounds which doesn’t quite hit the same… trying to think of others!

Alabama or Meadow for a girl and Neo for a boy!

Wailywailywaily · 02/03/2022 17:35

I have a fantasy family who’s names are Gordon, Gilbert, Gideon and Geoffrey. The girls will be Gillian, Germaine, Gabrielle and Giselle.

I have no idea why I’m obsessed with G names at the moment.
I actually have two boys with unusual biblical names neither of which starts with a G!

Musmerian · 02/03/2022 17:07

Atalanta, Hero and Orestes. I’m Greek but even so it felt too much!

Posy for a girl. Ballet Shoes was a favourite book of mine growing up. I just feel it's too girly/feminine. If she was this tiny flower of a girl it would be okay but if not it wouldn't suit

Blossom
Liberty

Shay
Maximus
