Absolutely ludicrous names you would love to use but wouldn't dare

[GitAwfMayLend]

Girls:

Berengaria. I have always loved that name.
Andromeda
Cassopeia
Oenone
Artemisia
Elektra
(actually I love most classical greek names)
Hepzibah
Bathsheba
Calpurnia (I love the euphony of the name, not the meaning)

Inigo (actually, if I have a boy I will call him that, surname is Jones so will be marvellous
Percival
Lysander
Magnus

Adriel (for a boy)

I think these are all wonderful names! And I know holders of 4 of them in RL.

Maternelle I always love the name Eleuthera (same root as Elefteria, greek for freedom).

Actuallu=y neither of those names are ludicrous - bueatiful names.

Artemis
Klytemnestra
Electra
Assissi
Allegra

Huckleberry
Peregrine

These threads are always ill advised.

And I'm not lying, but one of my DC's names is on here. It isn't a ludicrous name; I know you're having a larf, but some people would be hurt.

And I have been suggesting 'Inigo' all over mn today... it's not that oddball!

Okey dokey, ludicrous is not the right word. I love and adore the names in the OP so is not meant as an insult, far from it.

Think thread title should be fabulous names I am not brave enough to us.

I think Inigo is fantastic, I would seriously use that, and not just because my surname is Jones. It just sounds great.

NO offense meant, honest guv.

I am very curious Chateau which of these names you have used, and envious obv

(if it's Oenone I will not be happy, that's MY name)

Why are you envious if it's ludicrous?

I cannot say which one sadly... far too identifiable.

Delilah :)

Love all the names mentioned so far!

DS2 has a very unusual name - i have only ever heard of two before.....i was so pleased we chose it at the time and still am now .... and he loves it too (thank God)...

It's an old English name btw not a made up one.

I would love to be aristocratic and rich.

I would have a stableful of kids and use all these wonderful names.

I love classical Greek names. My dd has one (but very normal, Sophia) which I chose because of the meaning. I wish I had bitten the bullet and called her Artemis or something.

My contribution is Ninian.

one of my DM's friends worked as part-time for an insurance company before selling on ebay. last i heard of her, she was spending 15k a month at a wholesale warehouse, making it back plus 30k a month, every month. she employs 5 people, including her own DM. that was a couple of years ago, and i presume she is still going. she only had herself and her young DS to provide for so she was pretty well off in the end!

aaargh completely wrong thread!

LOL@hermit of shame! It's ok :)
My contribution: Megas. Rhymes with Vegas. :o

i love artemis, was the name of the midwife that delivered DD.

i'd love a little gus!

Artemisia and Artemis are lovely ...love Scheherazade too!

Aphrodite
Aurora
Hermia
Hermione ...for obv reasons!
Orithyia

Cymbeline
Mercutio
Odysseus
Porthos

My brother had a friend named "Athenasis" (Athen-ass-is) God I just love saying that name. We are not Greek and I think it would be absurd to use it but I just love it all the same.

Oh Missred please don't use "Candida" - which is a yeast fungus,. one strain of which can cause some concern down in ones...ah....lady bits...-lol!

Oh god loads of these names are on my shortlist. In fact, I think my entire boys shortlist has been mentioned with the exception of one name.

some of these names sound like sneezes.

I know two little Inigo's, so not that 'out there'.

I have a secret love of 'hippie' names which really wouldn't fit in with my supposed image or the area where I live but I still like them (but would never use):
Ocean
Rainbow
Storm
Blue
September
Misty

I actually know the following:
Ptolemy
Antigone
Tiberius
Spartacus

Indigo, Saffron, and Cadmium :o
