Names that would be pretty if they weren’t already other things

[CruCru]

My daughter and I have been talking about names that would be beautiful if they weren’t already other things (mainly sparked by me saying that MacKenzie wouldn’t be a good name because it is a surname). So far she has suggested Cathedral, Fajita and Café. I have come up with Cellardoor.

What do you think?

Ive always loved Ocean.

Toxemia

Malus would make a lovely name. So, I think, would Malleus.

Miranda, is that you?

Moist. Plinth

Ha ha I used to think Terylene would be a lovely name - my school uniform skirts were made of it!

I met a baby called Magnolia this morning. I wouldn’t have thought of that.

Diphtheria

Aw yes Titty in swallows and Amazons. The original not the newer film where she’s tatty.

Catheter ... has Tabitha ring to it?

Arrietty is a lovely name, we named our cat after the Borrowers character. Not sure I'd be brave enough to use it for a child!

Duracell.

Serviette.
Cadenza.

Syphilis.
Placenta.

Artery and Vein, not sure if they are both boys or a boy and a girl.

Salmon
Cheddar
Kitten
Mustard
Avenue

I have known an Alexa and a Cherry.

Meringue would be nice.

Omelette would be such a pretty, gamine french, little girl

Nomad

For twin boys

Castor

There's a TV presenter called Cherry Healy

Actually I knew a Matilda whose mother called her Titty. She's probably about 20 now and probably refuses to answer to it.

(Woody Allen’s son is called Satchel.)

Clitoris

Sorrow is a common name in Spanish (Dolores)

Bracelet for a girl, Trolley for a boy, and perhaps Field as a unisex option.

There is a grave in my local cemetery for a baby called Isis.
