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.

When I was a teen I was obsessed with the name Orlando, had a hamster named that. Thankfully by the time I had DC my taste was a bit more traditional.

Kissyfur. Not as a nickname for Christopher, just Kissyfur. Fortunately, she was a girl.

Wilhelmina or Eugenie. DH vetoed both very quickly

Thought Mirena would be a nice name if it wasn't a contraceptive...

Not quite what you asked but two unhinged influencer baby names I’ve heard lately that I cannot get past (both in USA, obvs), were ‘Decker’ (who names their baby after a type of bus?!) and ‘Truman’ - yep, the same spelling as the movie! 🤦🏼‍♀️😆😆😆

Utterly unhinged, those poor babies.

I love the idea of twins/sisters named Rhythm and Rejoice but wasn’t going to happen.
I also loved Job but it was hated on here, and DH wasn’t keen so never got to use.

Buffy
Woody

Thor, pronounced Tor, was under serious consideration for a while

I love the name Yorick but quickly realised it would not be a good name for any child. So I named my Kindle Yorick just so I could use it.

Banana Hanna?

Roy would be my daughter’s middle name!! I don’t have a daughter, but if I did I’m set on that so great choice!

Toyed with Agatha, still love it, if we ever get another female pet I might call it Aggie

For some reason I loved Nova-Lee. Wtf. Both dd have normal names, thankfully.

Rufus (too much time listening to Rufus Wainright in the bath when pregnant). Luckily bump turned out to be a girl - I suspect a Rufus would be eaten alive in school around here.

@WheretheFishesareFrightening

i find it odd for a girl, definitely a boys name and the person I think of in that awful comedian Roy Chubby Brown, don’t burden a little girl with that name

Genevieve

actually I still like it!

I loved honey, meadow and pearl for baby girl names but DH vetoed them, and we ended up with a pretty regular name in the end! Hoping if we ever have another girl I might get to pick something more unusual 😁

There’s a Bette Davis film in which she and her sister, played by Olivia Dehavilland, are called Roy and Stanley. No explanation. 😹
In This Our Life 1942

Florian and Torin. DH vetoed both.

Love Angelica
Always been one of my faves.

Bellatrix 😆 works with the surname! Vetoed and DD got a more traditional name.

Previous poster mentioned Malachy and Lola - DD went to school with DC with those names!

I really like Bellatrix!

Moth. Short for Timothy.

We used Augustus as a middle name - it was received in shock by most but I am still delighted by it.
