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?

Sangria. Miasma. Patagonia. Namibia.

Liberia

Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia.

Taffeta Sympathy Melancholia Iridescence Crystalline

Celery, Paprika

Brother and sister - Gazebo and Carburettor

Oh, I love that word! It would be a good name.
Also Evanescent. Though I guess being called "Disappearing" would be slightly worse than being called "Bits and bobs" 😆

In a similar(ish) vein:
Limerence
Ambience
Lucent
Shimmer
Haze

Pariah for a girl, Arthritis for a boy

Fennel for a girl

I read a thing years ago, it might have even been on here. One message was by a midwife. Apparently they are trained to say, "Oh how lovely" to any name parents choose.

A pair of new parents were going to call their little girl 'Jenna' quite a normal name, but their surname was 'Taylor'.

She broke the rules to suggest the two don't go together.

I also heard a parent wanting to call their little boy 'Andrew', shortened to 'Drew' until she google the name with their surname of 'Peacock'.

Back to words that make names.

Gallifrey. Although I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple around.

Ego, Schizophrenia , Anorexia. I actually used to know a Lenore, named that about 2 years before the bathroom cleaner came out.

i know of a girl called Sorrel.

Curator would be a pretty name.

Some Latin medical abbreviations are nice.
Auris- ear
Dextra- right
Sinistra- left
Meridian- midday or noon

Diazepam has a nice ring to it Pam for short.
