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 😂

Ptolemy and Coco

Seems we have some guilty pleasures in common! I’ve always adored Lysander and Ptolemy. Horatio and Gideon are gorgeous also. I like Linus and Evander also.
My son has a very traditional name - along the lines of Benjamin or Edward. I often think I should’ve been braver and who bloody cares if anyone called me pretentious behind my back. Why do some names have to be pretentious anyway, it’s all nonsense.

I love unique and original names, some that have been shared I know people called them.

I have a list of unique names and will call my child/children something from the list - although the names I love that I'm not sure I would are:

Boy: Otto, Bertil, Percy
Girl: Birdie, Blaize

I absolutely love Isis Won't be having any more kids and could never use it anyway. But absolutely love it and feel sad that it'll will be unusable for a long time... I love that it feels cool but still feminine. Great for baby and grown woman. Oh well
Yes, that is a beautiful name that might never recover its original meaning.
