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 😂

Arsinoë - unusable in the UK, but I still like it

erhellerr · 01/03/2022 20:14

I love some of the names already mentioned.

Mine would be Herbert.

Junobug · 01/03/2022 20:02

Mines Tallulah as well. I love it and really toyed with it when pregnant but chickened out.

Ethel for a girl.
Lysander for a boy.

But I fear I lack the courage of my convictions!

Wailywailywaily · 01/03/2022 19:47

I’d love to have a little boy called Gideon and a girl called Phylida.
Unfortunately it’s never going to happen

MojoJojo71 · 01/03/2022 19:46

Persephone or Antigone for a girl
Darwin or Edison for a boy

Saskia, Verity and Perdita

JellybabyGina87 · 01/03/2022 19:37

[quote chloboe]@JellybabyGina87 I'd actually consider Phoenix if I ever had a little boy I really like it 🥰🥰[/quote]
I love Phoenix but never had the balls to use it. My kids all have traditional names that I love, but it just wouldn't go with them.

bogoblin · 01/03/2022 19:36

@DotDotDotDotDot I have a Cassius and it suits him so much! He is the coolest little dude!
