What's the most unusual baby name you love?

[WithACherryOnTop]

I love Ozymandias nn Ozzy for a boy.

Anakin too.I am a SW geek though.

Horatio.

And for a girl,Pepper.

I doubt that I'd ever use any of them.They're my guilty pleasure names.

What are yours?

[ChocolateIsAFoodGroup]

Ooooh, I wanted Persephone for DC3! Was denied.... (computer said no....) Pretty much love all the myth-type names. Also vetoed (but secretly adore):

Artemins
Ariadne
Athena

And there won't be a DC4 (so I'm told....) so boo hoo to never using them!

Like the name we've (probably) gone for, though: Lucinda June. Still classic and beautiful (I think, obviously) but apparently not as out-there as the rest....

[FrauGrau]

I saw a film with a Ponyboy in it and have loved it ever since

[rhondajean]

My dd2 s name is on this thread

[Fireandashes]

I like quite traditional names for boys but I have some real guilty pleasure girls names:

Illyria
Allegra
Genevieve pronounced the French way (pretentious, moi? )
Storm
Isadora
Scheherezade

[Novascotia33]

Alathea

[Catsycat]

suburbandweller I love Warwick for a boy too - also went to Warwick uni, and gave birth to DC 2&3 in Warwick Hospital, so it would have been right out!!! All mine are girls anyway, all 3 of their middle names have come up on this thread (Allegra, Charis, Seren). Have had lots of blank looks over DD3's name, Zuleika, but we like it and think it will suit her. I'm also very amused by the Zuleika Dobson reference...

[GirlWithTheMouseyHair]

Ooooh and Iago for a boy, I know he's a baddie but it's such a cool name!

[GirlWithTheMouseyHair]

Lysander
Mylo
Oberon
Talisker
Myrddin

Ophelia (negative connotations proved too much)
River
Autumn
Lola
Antigone


Sure there's way more (more traditional DH beat them out of me)

[mathanxiety]
