I really like the name Tracey for a boy...but could never use it not on the UK anyway

Any names you want to use, but never can?

I love Sullivan (sully) but I was talked out of using it for DS2 due the the meaning of 'sully'

I love Gabriel for a boy but I’d never use it.

I used the (extremely unusual) name I wanted to. I don’t think I really have a concept of ‘names you love but can’t use’.
