Unhinged baby names you considered for your children when pregnant…

[aperolspritzbasicbitch]

What were they?
i have two girls, and I’m a fan in different names - but not made up names, IYKWIM.

when I was pregnant with my first I watched Moulin Rouge, and for quite a while I was convinced that Satine would be the perfect name, but my partner said no.
my second I was desperate for Vivienne, which in in itself is a gorgeous name, but combined with Satine seemed to follow a trend of ‘ladies of the night’ (pretty women) so my partner said no again.

whats the most out there names you considered for your children?

my top boys name was Moss. Not sure I’d have gone through with it.

That's a shame. Going with the classical theme, you could have used Otho, but maybe your DP wouldn't have liked that either.

Malachy just makes me think of the stone malachite.

Twins - Malachite and Granite! 🤣🤭

Because it's a German name and that's how they pronounce it.

Paltrow also has a candle named This Smells Like My Vagina. I really wouldn't be influenced by her naming preferences!

Meaning, origin and history of the name Peta - Behind the Name

I love it! 🤣

An ex of mine and her sister were born in South America

her parents rather liked Conceptione which I understand is a common girls name in South American Spanish - or was in the very early 50's.

In 'European' Spanish however the meaning is a bit fruity!

Aneurin is a great name! I know someone called it, Nye for short (yes we are Welsh!)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Alas, poor Yorick"!

Holly as due on 25 December

I love Pearl, too.

I know some men called Aneurin. None called Nye.

IT'S A SURNAME THOUGH! 🤣

Moss? I’m not lichen that…

Actually I really do like it. It’s very unusual but it also sounds like a real name and could work at any age.
I just couldn’t resist.

Rubella for a girl
Lupus for a box
Isambard (sp?)

Oh, being a leftie I thoroughly approved of the political credentials of the name 😄, just had visions of the poor kid going through life having it spelt/pronounced wrong! Going by replies on here, though, I'm wondering if it's in more common use than I thought...

This thread has also just reminded me that in one of the Bridget Jones books her daughter has a doll called Saliva. 😄

Dd has a girl in her year called Merlot and another year vivienne

I know someone with a DD called Tesla, named before the birth of the car brand. I always feel sorry for her!

Vivienne's a pretty normal name.

Just looking back at my list I had Wyld/Wild, Indie, and Rogue for a girl. Bit of a theme 😂 I had no idea my actual daughter would end up being all of those things and did not need to be named them…

For a boy I had Byrd, Fox and Wolf - not ever serious contenders I don’t think - and also Lux meaning light. I quite like it on paper, maybe for a middle name, but the idea of announcing your child as a luxury upgrade is unfortunate. “James Luxe! New and Improved!” 🫣

DH wanted Atom for a boy. It did grow on me, but we didn’t have a boy.

The ones I know are old Welsh men. I only know 3.

I have an Indianna ! she is 32 so when she was born unusual names were not as mainstream as they are now. I was watching an Indian Jones film and I thought that so pretty for a girl! glad I stuck to my decision it really suits her and she loves it :)
